 Hotel Eurostars Diana Palace Palencia
Luxury hotel in Palencia
A friendly establishment, comfortable and functional, opposite the high-speed railway station in the capital of the Tierra de Campos region
The Eurostars Diana Palace Hotel is superbly located in the nerve centre of Palencia, just a few metres away from the high street (Calle Mayor) and the citys historical buildings, in addition to being very close to the Palencia Industrial Estate. Situated opposite the railway station, the city is connected with Madrid-Chamartín station and Valladolid with over a dozen trains daily.
This city, on the Carrión river, proudly claims to be the Spanish provincial capital with most green areas per inhabitant. Our establishment is close to the Jardinillos, one of the most beautiful parks in the city and a short distance from the Church of St. Paul, the Cathedral, Palacio de la Diputación, the Church of St. Francis and the Villandrando College, with its impressive, colourful façade, the most representative Modernist building in Palencia. A stroll through the Calle Mayor, the citys liveliest thoroughfare, makes a nights stay in Palencia well worthwhile and, precisely on the Calle Mayor is where the first university in Spain was founded in the 12th century, the Studium Generale Palencia, which has since disappeared.
With very carefully studied lighting and ambiance, the Eurostars Diana Palace would like to be your accommodation in the city. Our restaurant, decorated with three large-scale paintings by local artist, Álvaro Reja, offers a variety of dishes representing the rich, local cuisine.
Allow us to make you a secret recommendation. Visit the nearby locality of Autilla del Pino, only 8 kms. away, and admire the scenic beauty of our dearly-loved Tierra de Campos (Land of Fields) from the lookout point; the colours are never the same in our homeland.
