During the creation of Nights In The Past we’ve come across many places to stay that are of an extraordinary age. Should you know of any old hotels, inns or other accommodation which applies to this section, please get in touch. It should be noted, however, that the list below reflects only a small proportion of the overall number of historic hotels listed on the site. Also see historic hotels in:

Inclusion in this Oldest Hotels in Spain and Portugal section is based on there being some of the original structure still in existence rather than those places that have been entirely rebuilt. Naturally, in many cases this will apply to a relatively small section of the present-day building, though in some instances it applies to the majority. Please bear in mind that Nights In The Past can make no guarantees as to the veracity of the reputed age of any of the properties here or elsewhere on the site and cannot be held responsible for inaccuracies. The date information we supply has, however, been previously documented and is in the public domain either on the internet or in print.

It is important to stress that we can’t guarantee the actual ages of the above, and have listed them here in good faith. This section is, after all, a little addendum to the rest of the site, and we thought it would be interesting to point out the sheer wealth of historic buildings offering accommodation in the present day. If you believe there’s somewhere we should also list, or that any of the Portuguese or Spanish hotels named here ought not to be included, please let us know. Thank you.
