Information
The hotel is fully equipped with a spa, business centre, convention centre and twelve conference rooms. The location of this Parador, 26 kilometres from Madrid, 20 kilometres from Barajas International Airport and the IFEMA facilities, and only 2 kilometres away from the train station, make it an attractive destination, not only for tourism but also for conferences and celebrations.
Alcalá de Henares boasts the title of World Heritage City, and no wonder. In the cobbled streets of its historic centre, you’ll discover the historical legacy of this university city. A literary capital par excellence, this is where Miguel de Cervantes was born and where Francisco de Quevedo, Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca, Tirso de Molina and San Juan de la Cruz, geniuses of the Spanish Renaissance, lived.
The Parador de Alcalá isn’t just the best starting point for visiting the city, but it’s also a good option for hosting conferences and celebrations. Once you come here, we know for certain that you’ll return, just as the storks return every year to the city spires.
Environment
Begin your tour at the Calle Mayor and head towards the essential sites: the Cervantes Birthplace Museum, the Cathedral, the University of Alcalá, the Corral de Comedias, the open-air Museum of Modern Sculpture, the Capillas del Oidor and the Monastery of the Bernarda nuns. Nor should you miss the beauty of the Salón Paraninfo, where the prestigious Cervantes Prize for Literature is awarded, or the many historical buildings where the storks, who are now part of Alcalá’s landscape, make their homes.
Once you’ve discovered all that the city of Alcalá de Henares has to offer, and if you’d like to explore charming spots full of history, we recommend an excursion to Chinchón (29 km) and Aranjuez (67 km). If you’re travelling with children, we recommend a visit to the Parque Europa in Torrejón de Ardoz, a place that impresses both children and adults. Admission is free and it’s only 14 km away from the Parador de Alcalá.
Given its proximity to Spain’s capital, you can't miss Madrid’s most attractive tourist areas such as the Paseo del Prado, the Austrias area, the Barrio de las Letras, La Latina, or more commercial areas such as Calle Serrano in the neighbourhood of Salamanca.

The Hostería del Estudiante is located opposite the Parador in the former Colegio Menor de San Jerónimo founded by Cisneros and overlooks the Trilingual Courtyard of the University of Alcalá. It is a unique 16th century setting, with huge wooden beams and a fireplace where cooking was already taking place five centuries ago. Now you can enjoy the traditional and classic dishes of the Hostería along with the most emblematic dishes of the cuisine of the different Paradores.
