Housed within a former convent building dating from 1725, the Parador de Mérida is a 4-star property decorated in a quintessentially Spanish style. It was one of Spain’s first paradors – historic buildings tastefully converted into hotels and given the government stamp of authenticity.
Rooms here blend period details with contemporary comforts. Expect wood-beamed ceilings over cool whitewashed walls and terracotta-tiled floors. Standard amenities include air-conditioning, flat-screen television, hairdryer, safe, and free Wi-Fi.
Parador de Mérida’s on-site restaurant specialises in authentic local dishes. You also have the option of enjoying breakfast in your room, as well as room service. Other facilities include a bar, lounge, and outdoor swimming pool.
Parador de Mérida places you within walking distance of the Roman ruins of Mérida – a UNESCO World Heritage city. These Roman ruins include a theatre, amphitheatre, circus, aqueduct, and remarkably well-preserved temple.
