El Convento Hotel

In the heart of the historical and artistic old town of Arcos, part of the cloister convent of nuns was transformed into the hotel. In this peaceful place, amongst churches, palaces and other interesting buildings, guests can enjoy the serenity of the town's ancient beauty, a monument to light. From its rooms and the roof terrace, the visitors can contemplate the magnificent views of La Pena and the Guadalete River Valley. After a renovation and expansion in 2006, the hotel has 11 rooms in total. It is air-conditioned and has a lobby with 24-hour reception and a hotel safe. A cafe, bar and restaurants also feature. This historic hotel is situated high upon a cliff in Arcos de la Frontera.
