Hotel Pazo de Altamira

The hotel stands on the site of the old palace of the Counts of Altamira, a medieval building demolished in the 19th century. The current building, which once housed the Almacenes Estévez department store, was converted into a 16-room boutique hotel by the Creus y Carrasco studio, which recovered the original pitch-pine floors; the basement preserves an original well and columns. The strategic location of the hotel, at Rúa Altamira 18, places it at the epicenter of centuries of Compostela's history, surrounded by emblematic places visited by millions of pilgrims and tourists from all over the world. Every stone and every corner of the old town hides a different story, and the hotel has become a quiet refuge right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Galicia's most important market.

The building is distributed over four floors of imposing stone construction, characteristic of traditional Galician architecture. The restoration followed a functional and contemporary style that respects the historic character of the property. The 16 rooms are individually furnished and decorated with a bright and minimalist design that harmonizes avant-garde and modernity. The elegance, tradition and hospitality of the Galician people are combined in the interior redesign, creating spaces where contemporary design coexists in perfect harmony with the history of the building.

The hotel is located in the heart of the historic center of Santiago de Compostela, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Opposite the Plaza de Abastos, the most important market in Galicia, it offers a complete immersion in the daily life of Santiago de Compostela. About 300 meters away is the Cathedral of Santiago, goal of the Camino de Santiago, and a few minutes' walk away is the Plaza del Obradoiro. The old town surrounds the hotel with medieval streets full of history, while the train station is just one kilometer away. The location allows you to enjoy the tranquility of a discreet retreat without sacrificing immediate access to all the emblematic sites of the city of the Apostle.
