Hotel Catalonia Reina Victoria, Ronda

Authenticity

The former home of German poet Rainer Maria Rilke, Catalonia Reina Victoria Wellness & Spa was built in 1906 in Victorian-style. The property has some of the most amazing views of El Tajo Gorge, all private for the hotel guests to enjoy. 

Location

The hotel sits atop the Tajo Gorge, tucked away on the northern end of Ronda's historic center. Though not as central as other hotels in the city, you'll still be within walking distance of all the sites, shops, and restaurants. For example, a stroll to the Puente Nuevo only takes 10 minutes, and you'll pass places like Alameda del Tajo park, Mirador de Ronda, and the Bullring of the Royal Cavalry of Ronda along the way. 

Rooms & Bathrooms

All the rooms and bathrooms are clean, modern, and tasteful, though we recommend choosing a superior room or suite. These units have larger windows to let in more light and offer views of the Tajo Gorge. To truly enjoy the hotel's location, consider one of the rooms with a private terrace facing the gorge and valley, where you can enjoy breakfast in the mornings or a glass of local wine at sunset. 

Other Highlights

Catalonia Reina Victoria Wellness & Spa feels like a hideaway with a private park and gardens, complete with walking trails along the El Tajo Gorge. You'll also find an outdoor swimming pool and hot tub with valley views, plus an indoor spa with a sauna and hydrotherapy. The onsite bar serves a delicious breakfast paired perfectly with the hotel's incredible views, whereas the restaurant offers other meals and beautiful patio dining. Onsite parking is available, though it can't accommodate all guests, so make sure you book ahead if you have a car.
