Bottom Line

The 149-room Parador is one of the most luxurious hotels in Cadiz. Rooms are contemporary and upscale, with amenities like flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi as well as a clever design that allows for optimal use of the space. Floor-to-ceiling windows let in tons of light and offer panoramic ocean views from most rooms. There’s a wonderful spa with a tiny fitness center; three outdoor pools with ocean views; a restaurant serving regional cuisine, and indoor parking with electric car charging stations. The hotel’s location in the historic center of Cadiz, adjacent to La Caleta Beach, is another plus.

Parador de Cadiz

Scene

A modern hotel with striking design and upscale amenities

First opened in 2013, Parador de Cadiz is a modern, upscale hotel with a focus on design. Every space here, from the pool area to the restaurant and the rooms, has been planned so as to allow for soothing ocean views. The Paradores chain is known for its beautiful renovations of old historic buildings, but this one was built as a new construction and thus has a cutting-edge design unlike any other Parador in Spain. The lobby features bold contemporary decor, with gleaming marble floors and a variety of modern works of art framed by lots of natural light.

Location

On the northern tip of the historic center, neighboring La Caleta Beach

The hotel is located in the historic center of Cadiz between a quiet park overlooking the ocean and La Caleta Beach, a lovely stretch of sand popular with local families and a favorite for watching the sunset. This part of town is convenient both for beach-goers and for those looking to explore the sights. Major attractions are within a 15-minute walk, including the gorgeous Cadiz Cathedral and the lively Central Market. Other beaches farther south can be reached by bus.

Rooms

Upscale and contemporary, with amenities and views

Parador de Cadiz offers two room types: standard rooms with queen beds and junior suites with a separate living area. All feature ocean views -- most of them even from the bed, but some of them from the terrace only. Decor is contemporary and upscale, with wooden furniture and wall panels, a few pops of color, and amenities that include flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi. Upscale bathrooms offer double sinks, deep soaking tubs, and separate showers with rain showerheads. However, the bathrooms have an open plan, and some guests complain they lack privacy. Terraces seem to have the same problem. The low walls separating them from the neighbors’ are not tall enough. The hotel claims to be working on it.

Features

A relaxing spa, three pools, a restaurant, and a kids’ club

The relaxing spa has a hydrotherapy circuit, a solarium with expansive views, saunas, and Turkish baths, and several treatment rooms offering signature services, such as chocolate wraps, Lomi-Lomi massages, and facials. The fitness center is equipped with modern machines and has natural light, but it’s tiny.

The three beautiful outdoor pools are open seasonally and some are shallow enough for kids. The deck is full of loungers and umbrellas, and offers panoramic ocean views. A lifeguard is on duty at all times.

Other property features include a restaurant serving a regional menu and a bar, both with outdoor seating areas; a kids’ club open seasonally; indoor parking complete with electric car charging stations; fully equipped meeting rooms, and a business center. Free Wi-Fi and turndown services are available as well.
