Aranjuez is the southest city of the Community of Madrid, located in a fertile plain washed by the rivers Tagus and Jarama, being adjacent to the city of Toledo. Aranjuez was a place of rest and entertainment for the kings of Spain and nowadays is a World Heritage site. The visit of the Royal Palace of Aranjuez includes also gardens, buildings and museums that you must see.
If you plan to stay in Aranjuez, here are our suggestions.
Our favourite hotel in Aranjuez is the NH Collection Palacio de Aranjuez, located in the historic center of the town, in front of the Royal Palace. This hotel was built over a 18th century building. The hotel rooms are modern and well decorated, perfect to rest. The bathroom has a walk-in rain shower and a bathtub. Some rooms have views on the Royal Palace. The central patio is the perfect place to sit and read or have a coffee. The breakfast is buffet style.
The Occidental Aranjuez is another good option and it’s located close to the city center, near the golf course “Jardín”. It has an outdoor pool, 6 paddle courts and a big wellness centre. The breakfast is buffet style and the hotel restaurant serves á la carte dishes. The spa has a big thermal pool, a floatation pool, a steambath, a Finnish sauna and contrast showers. All Spa services require previous reservation.
If you’re looking for an accommodation outside of Aranjuez to get to know the area, we recommend you the Hotel Victoria, a 3 star hotel located in Valdemoro. It’s a modest hotel with simple rooms. The bedrooms are comfortable and every room has a private bathroom. The breakfast is good and plentiful. The hotel is well connected with the Parque Warner Madrid.
