3-star Hotel / Parador
HCAD1, Cádiz, Andalucia
Colonial style city hotel
This charming, elegant hotel right in the centre of Cádiz, on a lively pedestrian street with a great choice of bars, restaurants and shops within easy reach, takes its name from the historic event when the Cádiz Parliament declared the first constitution in 1812 and this is reflected in the decor of the building.
As you enter the balustraded patio you will see a wonderful mural "Viva la Constitución" and each bedroom is named after a figure or event of that period.
Both its facade and its interior style keep the original structure of a 19th century Cádiz house, yet every modern comfort has been thought of. The staff could not be friendlier or more helpful and provide good old fashioned service. It is a real pleasure to stay here, while the view of Cádiz from the roof top terrace is worth it alone.

Cadiz, founded by the Phoenicians in 1100 BC, is the oldest city in Western Europe. In the southwest corner of Andalucia, built on a peninsula, its astonishing light and clarity of the air, and its rounded shape, give it the nickname of La Tacita de Plata – The Little Silver Cup.
Still a working port, the Romans revelled in it, Sir Francis Drake “singed the King of Spain’s beard” here, the Battle of Trafalgar was fought near here and Christopher Columbus set sail twice from here on his voyages of discovery.
Without any huge attractions, the main appeal of Cadiz is its charm and relaxed pace, and the endearing hospitality and generosity of the people, all found in its maze of narrow, intimate streets opening out into little, busy squares with bars serving “pescaito frito” (little fried fish) and manzanilla, reminding you that not much has changed in recent centuries.
