Hostal dos Reis Catolicos
Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Spain.
There are a number of places offering accommodation which lay claim to being the oldest de facto hotel in Europe. However, the Hostal Dos Reis Catolicos boasts one of the strongest cases for the accolade having been opened in 1499 to provide shelter for pilgrims visiting the nearby cathedral.
We can only assume that it has welcomed some notable historic figures during the centuries, but its place on Nights in the Past is down solely to the sheer length of time it has been dispensing hospitality to travellers.
The accommodation of today is rated five-star and it possesses many of the original architectural features.
A true piece of Spanish and European heritage.
