There are 279 air-conditioned rooms available. Each room contains a mini bar, coffee and tea making facilities, a safe, a trouser press and a hair-dryer. There are also the necessary computer connections, television, telephones and fax-facilities. All rooms features sprinklers and smoke detectors, air-conditioning with individual room controls and have separate luxurious bathrooms with its own telephone.
The rooms incorporate the latest technical novelties - for example, ISDN telephone lines for fax and modem connections. A keyboard with infrared remote-control provides simple, instant access to the world of the Internet via the television set!

Restaurant and bar:
You can enjoy elaborate lunches and dinners in the Mediterranean restaurant "Talavera". It is situated in the southwestern corner of the hotel so that it gets the full benefit of natural light fall, has a large outdoor patio and a garden.The restaurant itself is about 440 sqm and has a kitchen area of nearly 300 sqm!
In the bar "Rodolpho's", directly connected with the restaurant, light snacks are being served besides a wide choice of drinks. A 300 sqm surface and a separate kitchen area of 100 sqm offers many possibilities.
