Parador de Corias, hotel in Corias, Spain
Parador de Corias is a hotel built within a historic monastery in the small town of Courias in Asturias. The building combines preserved stone walls and original rooms with modern conveniences, including a wellness center with a pool, spa services, and a restaurant located in the old refectory.
The monastery began construction in the 11th century and reached peak importance in the 12th and 13th centuries, when it controlled vast lands across western Asturias and parts of León. It is now designated a National Historic and Artistic Monument, with original crypts in the basement revealing remains from those medieval centuries.
The monastery shaped the region's identity and shows how religious communities influenced local society. Walking through the halls and dining in the old refectory, you sense the connection between monastic life and today's hospitality.
The hotel is easy to reach by car with on-site parking, and public transportation is less than 500 meters away. Guest rooms feature large windows overlooking the green surroundings, and an elevator serves the upper floors for convenient access.
The monastery library holds more than 7000 books, creating a quiet space for reading and reflection. At night the grounds become especially still and dark, making it a perfect setting to unwind and feel connected to the centuries of history that surrounds you.
