Hotels in Santiago de Compostela
Santiago de Compostela is a major destination for tourists and
pilgrims, so it's wise to book ahead--especially during high season, or if you
want to stay in the historic center.
 For
those who can afford the rates, the
Hostal Reis Católicos--also
known as the Parador of Santiago de Compostela--is hard to beat. The hotel's
attractive rooms are built around the courtyards of a royal pilgrims' hospital
and shelter that opened for business in 1499. It faces the Praza do Obradoiros,
diagonally across from the Cathedral.
 Another
five-star hotel is the
NH
Collection Santiago de Compostela,
where I stayed during my visit. The hotel is modern and comfortable, with an
extremely helpful desk staff. (When I asked for a stamp, the receptionist mailed
my postcard free of charge, and it arrived in the U.S. two days later.) Perks
include an excellent buffet breakfast, parking, swimming pools, and Wi-Fi. Rates
are surprisingly reasonable, and the hotel's only downside is the fact that its
parkside location is about a 10-minute walk from Santiago's main square.
