Raised as a recreational Quinta, restoring what was once a Toledo palace from the time, at the end of the 18th century by Cardinal Lorenzana, is what we now see as the hotel. This charming hotel features a garden surrounded by an original Arab wall from the 11th century. It is located a few metres from the escalator leading to the city centre. The hotel is home to one of the most famous restaurants in Toledo, where dishes of traditional and regional cuisine are served, prepared with the freshest ingredients from the area. The Hotel del Cardenal is located next to the gate of Alfonso VI, the old main entrance to Toledo and the only Moorish gate left in the medieval walls. There are parts of the gate that date from the 10th century. The Hotel del Cardenal is perfect for discovering the history and culture of this beautiful city.
