We've compiled the best of the best in Ávila - browse our top choices for the top things to see or do during your stay.
A breath of fresh air on Ávila's aging hotel scene, this property strikes a delicate balance between old and new. There are heavy carved-wood doors, beamed ceilings, and weathered exposed brick walls, but also Chromecast-outfitted smart TVs, Nespresso coffeemakers, and plush white linens. Don't miss the chic market-driven restaurant on the ground floor with enormous picture windows.
This four-star hotel occupies a beautifully restored 16th-century palace in the heart of the city next to the cathedral, an ideal spot if you like to relax between sightseeing. Rooms incorporate both modern and traditional Castilian design elements.
Post up in a 16th-century medieval castle attached to the massive town walls at this parador whose standout feature is its lush garden containing archaeological ruins. The interior is unusually warm for the hotel chain, done mostly in tawny tones, and guest rooms have terra-cotta tile floors, leather chairs, and four-poster beds.
