One of Spain's most characterful hotels, full of tradition, luxury and nobility
"Much more than a hotel: a symbol. Much more than a place to stay: it is the place where knowledge and talent live. The Eurostars Hotel de La Reconquista is, quite possibly, one of Spain's most characterful hotels. Tradition, luxury, nobility and 300 years of history have transformed it into an international symbol of Asturias. Located in the heart of Oviedo, next to the Parque San Francisco and just a few minutes from the Campoamor Theatre, this hotel is found at the point where the historic quarter and the financial district meet. In this complex listed as a National Monument, an elegant baroque façade invites guests to discover a surprise-filled interior: a 250-metre carpet covers the floor of the hall; two spectacular courtyards; a fully equipped convention centre spread; an octagonal chapel designed by architect Ventura Rodríguez; a culinary space combining tradition and modernity; and works by leading Asturian artists such as Mariano Moré, Purón Sotres, Adolfo Bartolomé and Vaquero Palacio. Its outward-facing rooms and exterior courtyards complement the hotel's architecture. The combination of art, culture and knowledge that characterises the Eurostars Hotel de La Reconquista comes into its own every year at the end of October, with the presentation of the Prince of Asturias Prizes, when the hotel is embellished for its most prestigious guests: the winners."
