Parador de Cuenca

History

We would be delighted if you would make the Parador de Cuenca your choice for exploring the many unforgettable spots in this uniquely beautiful World Heritage City. The hotel is in a former monastery with an enviable location atop the Huécar Gorge, site of sheer walls and dense vegetation in the outskirts of the city, opposite the magical Hanging Houses. You will be charmed by the glass-enclosed cloister and the former chapel, now a cozy café, our swimming pool and the lovely panoramic views of the city that can be enjoyed from some of our guest rooms (superior rooms).

Cuenca is full of interesting sights. The city itself is beautiful. Sit and enjoy chocolate con churros (drinking chocolate and donut sticks) in the lovely Plaza Mayor (Main Square), surrounded by history and monuments with virtually no traffic. Visit Santa María y San Julián Cathedral, and of course, don’t miss the amazing vertical Hanging Houses, overhanging the Huécar River.

Just over 30 kilometers from Cuenca you can visit one of nature’s wonderful caprices, the famous Ciudad Encantada (Enchanted City). The limestone rock formations in this natural area create the illusion of walking past streets, squares, tall buildings, wooded areas, animals, Roman bridges and even ships, all watched over by an enormous giant’s head.

A stay at the Parador de Cuenca will allow you to discover a city of magical beauty that is sure not to leave you indifferent.

Destination Weddings and Events

This is an incomparable spot for an unforgettable wedding for you and your guests. The location is excellent: just one and a half hours from Madrid and Valencia, with the AVE (high-speed train) station only 10 minutes away!

The hotel offers large spaces for weddings, including the cloister, refectory and cloister courtyard. The monastery refectory can hold up to 180 people, and the Vicenciano Function Room has a capacity of 90. If you add the cloister galley, there is space for 300 people. Imagine having cocktails at your wedding just opposite the Hanging Houses, with an amazing view of the entire city of Cuenca … the ideal setting to welcome your guests!

In addition, this Parador offers something original and exclusive … the option of having a 16^th-century monastery all to yourselves and your guests on the day of your wedding! If this option interests you, we encourage you to complete the questionnaire and our team will send you all the necessary information.

Don’t forget, you can set up the dance floor in the swimming pool area, an exclusive location for an open bar. And of course, the service and professionalism offered by our team is second to none, allowing you to enjoy not only your wedding, but also all of the preparations.
