WHY THIS PARADOR

It pairs a genuine convent setting with one of Catalonia’s most useful inland route locations.

THE BUILDING & HISTORY

The Convent del Roser reborn as a Parador

The Parador occupies the 17th-century Convent del Roser, organized around a central cloister with the former church incorporated into the hotel complex.

That structure gives Lleida a clear monastic identity while keeping the property firmly urban and connected to the city around it.

SETTING & LOCATION

Below La Seu Vella in western Catalonia

Lleida’s old cathedral dominates the skyline, while the city acts as a gateway toward the Vall de Boí, western Catalonia and the Pyrenean approaches.

ABOUT THE PARADOR

More about the stay

The Parador de Lleida is a 4-star hotel located in the Convento del Roser which dates back to the 17th century and is comprised of two buildings: the church, where the Parador's restaurant will open, and the hotel complex.

Its 53 rooms distributed across three floors and around a beautiful central cloister from which guests can access the church which has been converted into a Marmita Restaurant.

Lleida invites the visitor to lose themselves in the narrow winding streets and to discover the city centre, just ten minutes' walk from the Parador. Atop a hill sits La Seu Vella or Lleida's Old Cathedral, which was built back in the 13th century and which offers great views of the city and surrounding flatlands of Segre. The New Cathedral, built in the Baroque style is located in the city's commercial heart, just five minutes from the Parador. Lleida is an interesting destination for those looking to follow the Romanesque Routes, such as that area of Alta Ribagorza which boasts no fewer than nine Romanesque churches in the Vall de Boí, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Nature is also close at hand with the Arboreum Dr. Pius Font y Quer nearby. This is an immense botanic garden of more than 7 hectares, with 18 spaces, each representing a different area of the planet. If you like to stay active, the perfect place for playing sport and observing the flora and fauna is La Mitjana, a surprising natural area, which stretches along the edge of the city by the riverside.

Lleida also has plenty to offer the wine tourist, it's the perfect base for a visit to wineries in designation of origin regions like Somontano, Penedés, Cava and Priorat, all just a little over an hour by car from the Parador.
