"It
was in 1910 that the government assigned the Marquis de la Vega Inclán
the task of creating a hotel infrastructure-practically non-existent in
Spain at the time-that would house travelers and improve Spain's image
abroad.
In 1926, through the Royal
Tourism Commission established in 1911, the Marquis de la Vega Inclán
initiated the establishment of a hotel in the Gredos Mountains that would
make the wonders of the area's landscape accessible to tourism.
Nobody imagined in 1928 the
repercussions that the first Parador's opening would bring about, and yet,
through this apparently simple act, the cornerstone of a unique hotel chain
had been laid. This hotel chain would stand out not simply because of the
number of its establishments and rooms, but rather because of the profound
innovation that the hotels would contribute, and indeed continue to contribute,
to the Spanish hotel industry as a whole.
To remain on the cutting
edge of quality and service is one the of pillars of Paradores's strategy.
To do this, the company has had to integrate the most modern conveniences
with the enjoyment of privileged natural surroundings and buildings whose
history stretches back over the centuries. To this end, we are constantly
revamping our processes and incorporating new technologies to make our
guests' stays or business meetings unforgettable.
Company management is also
driven by modern criteria and efficiency, applying innovative methods and
tools of the tourism industry. This not only ensures better financial results;
it also guarantees fulfillment of all of the company's objectives." |
