Hotel Santa Cruz  

Tucked in the valley of Cangas de Onís inside Picos de Europa National Park, Hotel Santa Cruz sits a step from the Church and Capilla de Santa Cruz. It’s a quiet base in the town center with easy access to Astur Sella Aventura, El Molinón, San Lorenzo Beach and about 21 km from the Lakes of Covadonga.

A modern, minimal look after a 2017 refresh keeps things simple and comfortable. The hotel offers 33 air-conditioned, bright rooms with Smart TVs, private baths (bathtub or shower), safes, desks and daily housekeeping. Expect pleasant mountain views and a calm, close-to-center location by the Dolmen Prehistórico and the Ermita de Santa Cruz.

Take in the garden and picnic area or let the tour desk book your excursions into the peaks. On-property touches include a reception hall, elevator, laundry and a chapel. Staff speak Spanish, English and French and can help arrange local activities.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property, reception hall space, bike storage and luggage storage make short stays and working visits straightforward.

There’s an on-site restaurant and a daily buffet breakfast served from 8:00 to 10:30 for a fee, a simple way to fuel up before mountain hikes or town strolls.
