Hotel Duques de Medinaceli  

In the heart of El Puerto de Santa María, this 5-star colonial-style manor sits on the edge of the historic old town. Walk to Monasterio de la Victoria, Museo Arqueológico Municipal and Fuente de las Galeras, or catch local transport just 50 m from the door. Sandy beaches are roughly 3 km away, making it a family-friendly, romantic base for exploring Andalusia.

Opened in 2002, the property is set amid 5,000 m² of botanical gardens and houses 28 individually furnished rooms, including 19 suites. Rooms mix elegant colonial touches with modern comforts — minibars, flat-screen TVs, safes, air conditioning and some balconies or garden views. Select bathrooms feature deep soaking tubs and rainfall showerheads for a luxe unwind.

Take a dip in the outdoor freshwater pool and dry off on the sun terrace with loungers and parasols. Unwind in the sauna or book a massage and solarium session. On-site perks include a cozy bar, café, library and picnic area, plus a playroom and babysitting (surcharge) for families. Complimentary Wi‑Fi is available throughout and there’s onsite parking and valet options.

A 24-hour business center and conference facilities (about 5,382 sq ft / 500 m²) handle meetings and events. There are meeting rooms, a public internet terminal and concierge services — plus complimentary Wi‑Fi to keep work moving.

Enjoy an air-conditioned à la carte restaurant with a terrace, buffet options for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and a half-board option. Two bars and a café serve drinks and snacks, and 24-hour room service is available when you prefer to dine in.
