Sheraton Santa Maria de El Paular

Immersed in the natural beauty of the Guadarrama Mountain Range next to a 15th Century Monastery, Santa Maria de El Paular Monastery, from which it takes its name. It is located in the Lozoya Valley, just one hour north of Madrid. The Sheraton Santa Maria de El Paular hotel was created with a specific vision in mind: to combine history, culture and exquisite gastronomy.

El Paular was the first monastery in Castile, founded in 1390 by order of John I of Spain. The site underwent a constant process of evolution at the hands of the architects Juan Guas, Rodrigo Gil de Hontañón, Francisco Hurtado and Vicente Acero. The church conserves its Flamboyant Gothic façade.. After the sale of church lands, the monastery was abandoned, but was restored its original use in 1910. Since 1954 a small Benedictine Community has lived in the Monastery, the members of which take charge of maintenance and proudly preserve the beauty of this religious landmark. The monks happily attend visitors
