For the utmost in refined elegance, richly adorned interiors and attentive service, travellers visiting Puerto de Santa Maria in southern Spain will be bowled over by the sublime five-star luxury offered at the Hotel Duque de Medinaceli. Housed in a former 18th century palace, this iconic hotel is set in its own botanical gardens and simply oozes style and sophistication from its every pore. Little wonder, then, that it has been the accommodation of choice for visiting dignitaries and celebrities over the years.
There are just 28 guestrooms at the Duque de Medinaceli, where the emphasis is on ensuring every guest feels perfectly pampered for the duration of their stay. Of the 28 rooms, five are classed as ‘standard’ rooms; four are ‘superior’ rooms; there are 18 junior suites and just one Royal Suite. The style throughout harks back to the days of the building’s origin, with ornate chandeliers, finely-decorated bedspreads, wrought iron bed heads and delicate detail on all doors and fixtures.
However, modern conveniences are also included to ensure the 21st century is never too far from your thoughts – en suite with hydro-massage shower and hairdryer, satellite TV, direct dial telephone, wireless internet access, safety deposit box, mini bar and air conditioning all come as standard. The suites are, needless to say, bastions of even greater luxury and space, particularly the Royal Suite.
For some of the region’s most lovingly-prepared gourmet meals, guests are invited to head to the hotel’s ‘Reina Isabel’ restaurant, which offers rich Mediterranean food and an even richer ambience throughout. Additional facilities include an inviting outdoor swimming pool and sun terrace, a conference/banqueting marquee tent, fragrant botanical gardens, a comfortable lounge bar, a sauna, massage service and 24-hour reception. Secure onsite parking is available free of charge and the hotel also offers full WiFi internet access throughout.
