The Parador de Cadiz is a four star modern tourist hotel with exclusive access to a small beach next to the Genoves Park. It is close to the sea in a residential area surrounded by palm trees and offering impressive views over the Bay of Cadiz.
It also provides a good starting point to discover the entire province including the White Villages Toro and Wine Routes plus the small villages along the coast of Cádiz. Other interesting places to visit in the old town include the walls and fortresses of Puertas Tierra, the Baroque style cathedral, the archaeological museum with its collection of Phoenician sarcophagi, and the San Carmen hospital which has a painting by Greco.
This hotel has 113 twin bedded rooms, 8 rooms with a double bed and 8 suites. All have air conditioning, telephone, cable television and a mini bar and some are specifically adapted for guests with special needs. The spacious and bright guestrooms have panoramic sea views. The function rooms are perfect for meetings and conferences and can accommodate up to 800 people.
Boat trips and water sports within the area are some of the activities that can be done outside of the Parador. Inside the hotel options include a variety of games, a swimming pool, gymnasium and live piano, sax and base music. Well worth a visit in the nearby Horse Fair which is held in nearby Jerez in May. There you can taste the sherry in its birthplace and also see some spectacular flamenco dancing.
The hotel restaurant offers delicious local dishes including Cadiz-style assorted fried fish, Rota-style urta (local fish), gilthead sea bream, high quality meats and the famous Cádiz turrón which is a type of nougat.
