 The Parador de La Granja Hotel is located in the province of Segovia, close to the Sierra de Guadarrama. It reflects the spacious and natural surroundings in which it is set, only 11 km from the World Heritage City of Segovia, right in the heart of the Sierra de Guadarrama.
The new hotel Parador de La Granja is a testament to the rich architectural legacy of Spain. Renovated in 2007, the air-conditioned complex comprises two buildings.
The 127 accommodation units are set in the Casa de los Infantes, constructed in the 18th century by Carlos III as a residence for his children, Gabriel and Antonio. The other building is the General Barracks of the Civil Guard, which contains a modern congress and convention centre, situated just 55 minutes from Madrid.
This exclusive space offers 16 meeting rooms of different capacities, accommodating more than 600 persons. Its multiple layout options make it possible to hold not only seminars, meetings and congresses here but also all kinds of social events and presentations. It features a full range of the latest equipment and audio-visual technology.

The standard accommodation units come with a 150 cm double bed or 2 105 cm single beds. They are all outward-facing and feature modern decor, with a focus on light and tranquillity. Each unit comes with an en suite bathroom with hairdryer, as well as a direct dial telephone, a satellite/ cable television, Internet access, a minibar and a safety deposit box.
