Our Feedback

Convent of Santo Tomás and Hostería del Estudiante is the newly opened Parador in Alcalá de Henares, Madrid, only 26 km from the capital city and 20 km from Barajas International Airport and IFEMA. It has 128 guestrooms, some with twin beds, some with queen/double bed and several quad rooms. Parador de Alcalá de Henares is housed in a magnificent seventeenth-century building, the former Santo Tomás Dominican Convent and School. It is one of the city’s landmarks along with Hostería del Estudiante (across the road), in the former Minor School of San Jerónimo, founded by Cardinal Cisneros in 1510 and overlooking the beautiful Patio Trilingüe at the University of Alcalá de Henares. These monuments form a complex that was designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage site. Around the cloisters at the Santo Tomás School-Convent are the restaurant, bar, breakfast room, the guests’ lounge, the night bar, and the spa. Beneath the vaulted ceilings of the 17th century Santo Tomas Dominican convent - as it was in a former life - is this breathtaking spa. Treatments include spume massage and anti-oxidant wraps of various sorts, and the Clave de Sol Ritual - a body massage and rejuvenation treatment. Enjoy the hydromassage pool, sauna and Turkish bath in this spectacular setting. There is also restaurant in Hostería del Estudiante, which serves traditional (including Cervantine) cuisine. The Parador has a outdoor swimming pool, which is open only in the summer. In addition, twelve rooms are available for conferences, meetings, and other events (covering nearly 1,000 square metres). Some of the meeting rooms also have a separate reception area. This is an exceptional Parador, a perfect mix of original and very modern, with gorgeous rooms (especially the suites) and enthusiastic and helpful staff.
