Welcome to Hospedería San Juan de la Peña ****
TEMPORARILY CLOSED
Located in a place so unique that it surpasses the normal attractions of landscape and culture, the New San Juan de la Peña Monastery Hospedería stands on the southern wing of the building’s former location. We are on the meadow of Saint Indalecio. With the notable influence of the nearby Old San Juan del Peña monastery, one of the artistic jewels of our community, the importance of this zone led to the protection of the monastery areas, to the point of attaining the current figure of the Protected Landscape of San Juan de la Peña and Monte Oroel.
Today, the New Monastery complex, which houses the Hospedería and the interpretation centre of the Monastery, is an example of bringing closely together the architectural proposals of diverse times. Particularly noteworthy is the harmony of an intervention that contributes contemporary sensations, both in the volumes and in the materials: copper, glass and steel. Brick and hewn stone have given way to the warmth and luminous versatility of wood and alabaster.
It has 20 rooms and five suites, as well as spacious halls for holding all types of banquets and events, both private and professional; it also offers the customer a complete spa with a swimming pool, underwater beds, sauna, Turkish bath and gym equipment.
Without a doubt, the key to their lodging offer is comfort, which allows the guest to enjoy an unforgettable stay. All rooms have an outside view and are decorated with the finest materials to add a high level of comfort to the beauty of the surroundings.
The different meeting rooms are perfectly equipped for carrying out any cultural or business activity. The all-purpose hall has a seating capacity of 100 in the theatre, while the meeting room is designed for private meetings. Because we are in a place that is marked by its intensity, it is not difficult to search for and find especially attractive or interesting spots that each person will appreciate and value.
