Hotel Palafox

Our history

A symbol that defines a city

From the moment you step through the doors of Hotel Palafox, something changes. The pace slows down, the atmosphere invites calm, and every detail conveys a sense of care. It’s not just a landmark hotel; it’s the embodiment of a noble and welcoming city.

A name with responsibility

Being named Palafox in Zaragoza is no coincidence. It is a statement of intent. A name deeply tied to the city’s identity and pride, which implies a responsibility: to live up to its history.

Since its inception, the hotel was born with a clear vocation: to become a benchmark. And it has been. Over the years, it has evolved without losing its essence, maintaining that balance between classic elegance and contemporary vocation that defines its character.

The great transformation of 1999 marked a before and after, consolidating its position within luxury hospitality in Aragón and endowing it with the personality that distinguishes it today. Since then, each renovation has been a conscious decision: to improve without giving up what makes it unique.

A history that lives on

At Hotel Palafox, history is not just told; it is experienced. Each space holds a connection with Zaragoza and Aragón, integrating the past into the present experience.

Their halls evoke the ancient gates of the city, such as Santa Engracia, El Portillo, and Sancho, symbols of entry, meeting, and transformation throughout the centuries. Names that today host meetings, celebrations, and shared moments, keeping their meaning alive.

This dialogue with history continues in other spaces dedicated to key figures of Aragonese thought, culture, and politics, as well as in its suites, whose names pay tribute to institutions, places, and projects that have defined the city.

Here, each stay is also a way to discover Zaragoza from within.

Constant evolution, essence intact

Palafox Hotel has managed to evolve over time without losing its identity. Its 179 rooms and suites are designed to make relaxation the core of the experience, combining comfort, functionality, and warmth.

The most recent renovations reflect this philosophy: noble materials like oak wood, more contemporary spaces, and a constant attention to detail. A modernization that does not break with the past, but accompanies it.

On the upper floors, the city can be viewed from a different perspective. Outdoor pool, solarium, gym, and sauna provide a space for relaxation above Zaragoza, before or after delving into its history.

Dream, savour, communicate, enjoy, work, relax, get excited, celebrate…

At Palafox Hoteles, our clients’ dreams are our reality.
