Modern hotel incorporating a Renaissance cloister (3*)
This elegant Parador stands in the historic town centre of La Seu d’Urgell, just next to a stunning Romanesque cathedral. Despite its contemporary style, the Parador’s proudest feature is the beautiful Renaissance cloister at the centre of the building. With plenty of comfortable seating and leafy greenery, the cloister provides a calming oasis at the heart of this Parador.
Décor is light and elegant with stylish modern touches creating a bright and spacious interior. Bedrooms are decorated in a similar contemporary style with wooden flooring and muted colours providing a relaxing atmosphere. The Parador de La Seu d’Urgell is well-equipped to meet all your needs featuring a heated indoor pool, sauna and gym, and all of the modern facilities to ensure a comfortable stay here, perfect for exploring the beauty of the Catalan Pyrenees.
The Parador’s restaurant serves a range of Catalan/Pyrenean dishes featuring regional sausages, ham and artisan cheeses. The Parador offers garage parking as well as exterior parking.
The Parador de La Seu d’Urgell is ideally situated for exploring the Pyrenees where the Valira and Segre rivers converge, and there are a number of ski resorts close by. In the summer, the nearby River Segre plays host to international canoeing championships, and the nearest golf course is only 6 km away. La Seu is the capital of the Lerida Pyrenees and as its natural surroundings lend themselves well to adventure sports, the area has become a popular skiing destination. Olympic installations such as Segre Park and four Nordic Skiing stations have aided the tourist sector enormously.
The Parador looks onto a Romanesque cathedral which is the seat of the Bishop of Urgell, one of the traditional co-princes of nearby Andorra (the other co-prince is the president of France). In fact, La Seu d’Urgell is situated a mere 21km from Andorra’s capital, so it is an ideal base for visits to the neighbouring country. One of the town’s most prominent historical sites is the beautiful Romanesque-style cathedral which dates back to the 11th and 12th centuries. The Italian-influenced design of the cathedral can be found in many churches throughout Catalonia. Other popular sites to visit include the 15th century City Hall and the Diocesan Museum which features fantastic examples of medieval painting and sculpture.
Like many Catalan towns, La Seu is proud of its history and traditions, and there is no better way to sample some of the regional flavor than through the local cuisine. The area is well-known for its cheese, hams, and mushrooms, with plenty of delicious dishes on offer.
