I think the parador in Leon is closed for renovations.I'm typically a 1 or 2 star man, but if I wanted to splurge and book a night at some memorable up-scale place, what would you recommend?
We stayed at the Hospederia Monastica Pax in Leon for our upscale rest.

I stayed in the Monasterio San Zoilo last year. Very nice, beautiful rooms and ‘an air’ of ancient monastery in the decorations in the rooms and the halls. Fabulous food in the restaurant, although a bit pricy.
Hmmmm. I have no idea. But @Robo was going on a while ago about in Monasterio San Zoilo in Carrion de los Condes...maybe ask him...?
The Parador in Santo Domingo de la Calzada is very nice.I anticipate a Logrono-to-Leon walk this coming September....

The parador de los Reyes Católicos in Santiago was a very nice reward at the end...I anticipate a Logrono-to-Leon walk this coming September....

Wait, I saw the Holy Grail in San Juan de la Pena near Jaca.I stayed at the Saint Isidoro Hotel. It is beautiful and you can go see the Saint and the holy grail in the church. Try for an English tour and you also are allowed to walk on the old walls of the city. It is a beautiful and quiet place.
I stayed in the Royal Collegiate of Saint Isidoro last September and it was lovely. I had a very simple room and loved the fact that there was NOT a TV in it! Take a look below.I think the parador in Leon is closed for renovations.

How many are there?
Oh, there are many. A few years ago a couple of historians traced the origins of a cup that was adorned by the daughter of a king of Leon; it was not claimed to be the Grail. They were able to trace it back to Egypt at least with a good possibility that the cup was taken from a church in Jerusalem. I think this cup has the best chance of being authentic of all of them.

I don’t think you could do better than the Hotel Real Monasterio San Zoilo, on the leaving side of Carrion de Los Condes. I’d walked past several times before I finally stayed last October, and it was wonderful. There’s a museum and full cloister, park-like grounds, beautiful rooms and an amazing restaurant for dinner: I had an entree of roasted vegetables! From memory, a single room was no more than 50€ or so, and every cent was worth it. Also, it’s well located for an early start, right on the far side of town.I anticipate a Logrono-to-Leon walk this coming September....

All these are good choices. In Burgos, for our rest day, we stayed at Hotel Mesón del Cid*** across from the Cathedral. We paid a few more euros (not many) to get a room with a nice view.Yes, that would be my #1 Pick. https://sanzoilo.com/
It has it's own church and cloisters! And food is great, though not cheap.
A second would be the Parador in Santo Domingo. (The one near the Church with Chickens. There are 2) The dinner is really good. https://www.parador.es/en/paradores/parador-de-santo-domingo-de-la-calzada
Another would be Hotel San Antón Abad. *** Lovely old building just next to the Church.
Designed by Frank Gehry, the architect of the museum in Bilbao.Might not be everyone's cup of tea but the prices are certainly upscale and as for memorable, I think you'd be covered. Just outside Logrono BTW.
Hotel Marques de Riscal

Good suggestion! Must look into that.... And its not so far out of town that one could not walk back to the Plaza Generalissimo for dinner. Fond memories of the Restaurante La Corte!
Wow! It looks amazing.Might not be everyone's cup of tea but the prices are certainly upscale and as for memorable, I think you'd be covered. Just outside Logrono BTW.

May it not be so. Prayers happening.Mindful of the very real possibility (Health concerns! Prayers, please!) that my Sept 2019 Logrono-Leon walk could be my last
It does look amazing. I'm a fan of Frank Gehry so would definitely go and look - but sadly, at the prices posted couldn't afford even one night!
recommend looking at booking. com or trip advisor which have some great selections. also recommendations from other pilgrims works wellI anticipate a Logrono-to-Leon walk this coming September....
