Why stay here?
A former mill beside Isabel la Católica Park, balancing green space with quick access to San Lorenzo beach and Gijón’s maritime neighborhoods.
Why it stands out
The combination of park setting and urban coast gives Gijón an unusually relaxed city-Parador feel.
How long to stay
Two nights works well for Gijón and the coast; a third can support wider central-Asturias excursions.
Best route role
Use Gijón as the urban-coastal midpoint between eastern and western Asturias.
A historic mill adapted for a city stay
The Parador occupies a century-old mill within one of Gijón’s principal parks. The building’s scale is modest compared with monumental Paradores, giving it a more relaxed regional character.
Its historic identity is complemented by the park and nearby seafront rather than by formal palace or fortress architecture.
Park, beach and maritime Gijón
San Lorenzo beach, the Cimadevilla quarter and Gijón’s waterfront are all part of the city experience, while the central Asturian coast and Oviedo are easy regional extensions.
More about the stay
The Hotel is a century-old mill located in Isabel la Católica Park, one of the city of Gijón’s most beautiful spots. There is a pretty lake lending the space a great sense of harmony and tranquillity. Its proximity to San Lorenzo beach and Cimadevilla sailor’s quarter make it an ideal spot to enjoy unforgettable days.
There is a large, bright, welcoming interior recreating the setting’s warmth in the rooms and spaces, whilst the windows offer a sense of the nearby ocean. Fabada stew is the top fare in the dining room, although beans come in other dishes. The seafood stew, black sea bream in cider, Asturian stew and hake are also a highlight. Rice pudding, frixuelos (cream-filled crepes) and casadielles (pastries with walnut paste) are part of the Hotel’s dessert selection.
