Palacio de Valderrábanos hosts company meetings, training courses, presentations, cocktail receptions and small banquets for up to 130 people in theater layout, with 80 bedrooms in the same building. The hotel occupies a 14th-century palace on the Plaza de la Catedral in Ávila, Spain, directly beside the cathedral.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells its rooms for business meetings, conventions, training courses and product presentations, as well as for company and family events. Three of the event rooms receive daylight. Wi-Fi, audiovisual equipment and an events team are part of the offer, and the kitchen publishes cocktail and coffee-break menus for meetings. With 80 bedrooms upstairs, a group can hold a two-day meeting in the old town without moving between buildings, and the cathedral and the city walls are a short walk from the door, which makes an easy guided visit between sessions.
Rooms and capacities
Four room configurations are listed. Atalaya, 62 square meters, takes 50 in theater layout, 30 in classroom, 25 in a U-shape, 25 at a banquet and 40 for a cocktail. Girola, 68 square meters, takes 60 in theater, 36 in classroom, 25 in a U-shape, 33 at a banquet and 50 for a cocktail. Atalaya Girola, listed at 130 square meters, takes 130 in theater, 75 in classroom, 55 in a U-shape, 58 at a banquet and 90 for a cocktail. Vidriera, 80 square meters, takes 80 in theater, 50 in classroom, 40 in a U-shape or at a banquet and 60 for a cocktail. A group of 40 to 60 can therefore hold its session in one room and move to a standing lunch in another.
Accommodation
The hotel has 80 rooms, enough to house most of the groups the meeting rooms can take. Free Wi-Fi covers the whole building, and the location on the cathedral square means guests can walk to restaurants and sights in the evening.
Catering
Meals and breaks for events come from the hotel kitchen, with set menus for cocktails and coffee breaks. Small banquets for company and family groups are served in the event rooms. La Crestería and the hotel café, both with views of the cathedral, serve drinks before or after a session.
History and setting
The building is a palace from the 14th century, with interiors updated for hotel use while keeping their historic character. The hotel cites more than 45 years of experience in hosting guests and events. Its address on the cathedral square places it inside the walled old town of Ávila, a few steps from the cathedral apse and the medieval walls.
Getting there
The hotel is at Plaza de la Catedral 9, 05001 Ávila. Ávila railway station has regular trains from Madrid, and the city is also reached by road from the capital. Madrid-Barajas is the nearest major airport.
