Hotel Converted from a Monastery

Western Spain ~ León (Region) This hotel is located within the building of the Los Padres Paúles Monastery, featuring Baroque architecture and built in the 17th century. The cloister has two rows of semicircular arches with pilasters (closed with oval windows and oculi), and one wing has a double-arched gallery above it. The cloister is used as a terrace for the hotel bar, providing easy access. Another highlight is the Baroque church, which has a nave and a lantern on the transept vault. I would particularly note its wooden altarpiece, though I'm not sure if it is open to visitors.
