Hotel Landa Palace * * * * *

Carretera N-1 (E-5) de Madrid a Irún, Km 235
09001 Burgos - Castilla y Leon - Spain

The Landa Palace is one of the greatest hotels of Castile, only 4 kilometers south of Burgos and it affords easy access to the fantastic wine country in the Rioja Region, as well as to visiting the city of Burgos. A romantic getaway, it is in a handsomely restored castle from the 1300s with later additions. Pilgrims once stopped here en route to Santiago de Compostela in Galicia, but they wouldn't recognize the grandeur of the place today. Located in a renovated 14th century castle, the owners have done a very nice job in insulating the motorway noise away from the living quarters. The rooms of the Landa Palace are delightfully "country" decorated and there are antiques throughout. The help is delightful and the parking offers excellent security for your auto. Decorated with tasteful antiques, the lobby sets the tone with its white marble and ornate coffered ceiling. Rooms are spacious and cozily inviting with antique decorations and tile floors. Although parts of the Landa Palace look a little worn, the graciousness of the staff compensates. An excellent restaurant is attached to the hotel and I strongly suggest that at least one of the diners at your table indulge in the Lamb!!!
