In the heart of the historical and artistic old town of Arcos, part of the cloister convent of nuns was transformed into the hotel. In this peaceful place, amongst churches, palaces and other interesting buildings, guests can enjoy the serenity of the town's ancient beauty, a monument to light. From its rooms and the roof terrace, the visitors can contemplate the magnificent views of La Peña and the Guadalete River Valley. After a renovation and expansion in 2006, the hotel has 11 rooms in total. It is air-conditioned and has a lobby with 24-hour reception and a hotel safe. A café, bar and restaurants also feature.

Once you are in Arcos, follow the signs ""Centro Ciudad"" (city centre) or ""Conjunto Monumental"" (old town). Drive up the hill to Plaza del Cabildo; it is a toll parking area and a 24-hour ticket is offered to guests at a cheaper price. Once your car is parked, take Escribanos St. towards Plazuela de Boticas by foot and there take the first right turn. The hotel is at the end of the street, opposite Olivares Veas Theatre.
