Modern hotel overlooking the Mediterranean (3*)
This comfortable modern hotel is located in a park above the autonomous city of Melilla, a Spanish enclave on the coast of North Africa, bordered by Morocco.
The Parador itself is an attractive building in the modernist style, built on a hill with fine views over the old walled city and the adjacent beaches. It enjoys a quiet position thanks to its private garden and seasonal outdoor swimming pool, and elegance and simplicity best describe the decoration of the bedrooms. The beautiful circular restaurant offers wonderful views and serves dishes that combine Andalusian and Arab influences.
Melilla, which has been part of Spain since 1497, is home to a cosmopolitan population of Christians, Muslims and Jews, reflecting its long history of occupiers – Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Byzantines, Vandals, Visigoths, Berbers, and Spaniards. Among the notable buildings in Mellila is the Capilla de Santiago, the only genuine example of Gothic architecture in Africa; the city also has many notable examples of Spanish art nouveau architecture.
This is the perfect base for exploring Morocco and there are frequent ferries from mainland Spain.
