NH Collection Palacio de Burgos
A sixteenth-century palace opposite the cathedral
About this hotel
NH Collection Palacio de Burgos occupies an actual sixteenth-century palace building complete with its own cloister, sitting on the Arlanzon riverbank directly opposite Burgos Cathedral across the water. The hotel combines natural materials with modern design throughout, displaying contemporary art in both rooms and public lounges against the building's original stonework. Stylish rooms include a forty-eight-inch TV, coffee and tea making facilities, a minibar, a safe and air conditioning, with a professional hairdryer in every private bathroom. The elegant restaurant serves international and regional cuisine alongside a wide selection of wine and champagne, and Plaza Mayor, two large parks, Las Huelgas Monastery, the Bullring and Burgos Museum all sit within a few minutes of the palace's front door.

Our take
NH Collection suits travellers who want genuine historic architecture with full modern comfort, and the riverside cathedral view is one of the strongest in the entire city for a hotel room. Anyone on a tighter budget should note the four-star category and palace setting come at a correspondingly higher rate than most nearby old town options.
- ✓Ask for a river-facing or cathedral-view room specifically, the sixteenth-century palace setting makes either outlook worth requesting at booking.
- ✓Walk the cloister if it's open to guests, it is one of the few genuine period features still accessible inside a working Burgos hotel.
- ✓Book the restaurant's wine pairing if available, the cellar here outperforms most standalone old town restaurants nearby.
Why we love it
- Genuine sixteenth-century palace with a cloister
- Directly opposite the cathedral on the river
- Contemporary art throughout a historic building
- Sauna and fitness centre on site
Why guests love itNH Collection Palacio de Burgos places families inside a sixteenth-century palace with a cloister, on the Arlanzon riverbank directly opposite Burgos Cathedral. Children old enough to enjoy the history will appreciate the setting, and the cathedral is a short walk away. A sauna and fitness centre are on site, and the restaurant serves international and regional cuisine. It is a four-star palace, so I would choose it for a special family weekend.
