Situated on one of the most picturesque streets in the historical centre of Valladolid, Spain, Melia Recoletos is a four star haven suitable for those who enjoy the comforts of home combined with elements of grandeur. Opposite of the Campo Grande Park and near the 16th-century Plaza Mayor square with its plethora of bars and restaurants, the hotel is ideally located to enjoy all that the heart of Castile and Leon has to offer.

Pretty balconies hang from the building's façade whilst the black marble in the spacious lobby jazzes up the unusually large entrance and the attractive courtyard offers a great spot to relax. Be prepared to be completely charmed.

The facilities

The large entrance to the hotel and the extensive car parking facilities make it ideal for guests planning to hire a car as there is ample space to park up. The hotel staff are extremely helpful and can help organise visits to the nearby wineries of Abadía Retuerta, Cepa 21 and De Alberto for a tour of their vineyards and cellars and of course the mandatory tasting.

The rooms

Melia Recoletos's 80 rooms are spread over 5 floors and are decorated in an elegant classical style. Large rooms are decked in subtle neutral tones with furnishings to match. The 15 rooms on the top floor sit underneath the roof arches and have dormer windows with fantastic city views. All rooms are soundproofed ensuring a good night's sleep and the modern bathrooms are large enough to swing a cat in.
