Soho Boutique Palacio San Gabriel, Ronda

Authenticity

You'll find SohoBoutique hotels throughout Spain, but this location might be the most historic. The 18th-century palace maintains much of its history, so you'll find an original cellar, wooden doors, windows with ironwork, archways, and tile floors. This preservation is unique for SohoBoutique properties, as the company typically prefers a sleek, modern design.

Location

As a historic building, you'll find the hotel in the older part of the city, just south of Puente Nuevo, a four-minute walk away. The streets here are incredibly charming and narrow, and you'll be next door to two small museums, one with paintings by Joaquín Peinado and the other with a preserved Nasrid-Dynasty house. You'll also be near the Tajo Gorge trail, the perfect place to take photos at sunrise, sunset, and night (the route is paved and lit).

Rooms & Bathrooms

Though this historic hotel plays up those 18th-century elements, you'll find fresh, modern bedding and clean, spacious bathrooms. You can enjoy details like four-poster and canopy beds, dark-wood furniture, and antique headboards, but these furnishings miss the historical element in some of the rooms and feel a little outdated. Some of the double rooms can fit a third twin bed if you're traveling with kids. 

Other Highlights

You can relax in the restored Andalusian patio, fireside lounge with a library, historic cellar (where you can sip wine), and a projector room for watching movies. The reception remains open 24/7, and the staff is happy to arrange parking if you have a car. Enjoy a daily breakfast buffet, which the hotel can adjust for those with a specific diet.
