Fodor's Expert Review Parador de Mérida
Calle Almendralejo 56, Mérida, Extremadura, 06800, Spain
This spacious hotel exudes Andalusian cheerfulness with hints at its Roman and Moorish past—it was built over the remains of a Roman temple, later became a baroque convent, and then served as a prison. The whitewashed building has bright guest rooms with traditional dark wood furniture, and the brilliant white interior of the convent's former church has been turned into a restful lounge. Skip the mediocre restaurant, which has gone downhill in recent years.
PROS
- central location
- serene interior courtyard
- dazzling-white interior
CONS
- restaurant not up to snuff
- erratic Wi-Fi
- could use a revamp
