4 Best Hotels in Segovia, Castile–Leon and Castile–La Mancha

Áurea is a clean-cut Eurostars property whose guest rooms have tufted black leather headboards, beamed ceilings, and walls hung with photographs of local sights. From the smart, corporate furnishings—and well-kept spa—you'd never guess that the building is nearly four centuries old. 

On the corner of the Plaza Mayor, this classically appointed hotel boasts cathedral views in a bustling shopping area. Rooms have frilly baroque furnishings like wrought-iron beds and little round tables; rooms facing the plaza have floor-length shutters and small verandas.

Housed in the 15th-century Monastery of San Antonio El Real (officially declared a National Monument of Segovia), this hotel is worth a visit on its own. It was originally the old hunting lodge of Henry IV, who later transformed it into a Franciscan convent. The cloister garden is ideal for a summer nightcap, and there is also 18th-century baroque church on the property that guests can tour.  

Built in the 15th century as a Mudejar palace, this historical property has spacious rooms and a well-priced spa (€35 per person; adults only) that's popular even with nonguests. Ask for a room overlooking the Sierra de Guadarrama, and be sure to visit the on-site Roman ruins on a free Sunday-morning tour.
