Toledo is a city of art and history. Located just an hour south of Madrid, Toledo is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a mix of Moorish, Jewish, and Christian influences. Even from a distance the cityscape is captivating with the Tagus River circling a large section of the city and the Alcazar dominating the hilltop. Visitors will also find that Toledo hotels offer a unique range of experiences, some of which will allow you to immerse yourself in the surroundings of a historical building.
The primary attraction of Toledo is the medieval city center, with narrow winding roads which lead to the city's most impressive architecture. Some of the top sites are the Gothic Toledo Cathedral, built between the 13th and 15th Centuries, the Hospital de Santa Cruz which houses the Museo de Santa Cruz, and the 15th Century Monasterio de San Juan de los Reyes. Also of outstanding interest is the Juderia (Jewish Quarter), west of the Cathedral where visitors will find the Casa y Museo El Greco and the Sinagoga del Tránsito.
Located within the historic city centre are some fine Toledo hotels. Top picks in this area include the luxury Fontecruz Palacio Eugenia de Montijo, just a short walk from the cathedral, the newer four star San Juan de Los Reyes Hotel in the Jewish Quarter with a façade of an old flour mill, and the Hotel Alfonso VI located near the Alcazar. All of these are good picks for visitors who are here to explore the city and enjoy the historic atmosphere.
For visitors looking to relax and soak up the vistas, there are also a good selection of top end Toledo hotels outside the city center. These places offer a little more space and are a bit quieter. The Hilton Buenavista Toledo is located a short drive outside the city center, but is set in a lavish 16th Century palace with all the modern day conveniences and luxuries. Also, just outside the old city center but with fabulous views of the city and historical sites are the Parador de Toledo, and the AC Ciudad de Toledo, located next to the Tagus River. The five star Hotel Silken Cigarral El Bosque Toledo is a short distance outside the city center but offers great views of the city and top quality rooms and dining.
