Palacio de La Magdalena Hotel  

Perched on the highest point of Soto del Barco in Asturias, this palatial spa hotel sits on the historic Palacio de la Magdalena estate. It’s within easy reach of Oviedo (48 km), Avilés (12 km) and Gijón (43 km), and just 6 km from Asturias Airport; Alto Llanas Viewpoint and Aguilar Beach are a short drive away.

A mid-18th‑century palace built by Don Juan de Llano Ponte, the property keeps its chapel namesake—Mary Magdalene—and a strong historic vibe while offering modern comforts since opening as a hotel in August 2007. Rooms blend classic architecture with contemporary touches: air conditioning, LCD TVs, minibars, bathrobes and private bathrooms with tubs or showers. The on-site spa is a quiet, restorative space for thermal treatments and massages.

Highlights include a full spa with massage services, a bar and coffee shop, complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout and free self-parking onsite. Guest services cover tour/ticket assistance, wedding services, elevator access, laundry, a chapel on the grounds, 24‑hour front desk and luggage storage. Wake up on the estate’s hilltop setting and step out for nearby beaches or viewpoints.

A dedicated business center and extensive event facilities make this a strong pick for meetings and conferences, with roughly 3,476 m² (37,413 sq ft) of conference and meeting space available. The hotel can host board meetings and corporate events and offers complimentary wireless internet for guests.

Ría de Nalón serves regional Asturian cuisine in a bar/lounge setting, and a coffee shop/café offers snacks and light bites. Buffet breakfasts are available daily from 8:00–11:00 for a fee; note the bar and restaurant are closed on Mondays.
