Hotel Talavera

Hotel Talavera is a four-star hotel in the centre of Talavera de la Reina, on Avenida de Toledo, just over an hour from Madrid along the A-5 motorway. With 102 rooms, its own restaurant, function rooms and a reception desk that never closes, it is the natural base for anyone travelling to the area on business, for a conference or simply for a break. A contemporary city hotel that has honoured Castilian tradition since 1985 and has made quiet elegance its way of welcoming guests.

Within Globalia Hotels it is the only property in Spain and the only city hotel in the portfolio. Where Santo Domingo Bay and Marien live off the beach and the all-inclusive formula, the proposition here is a working hotel built around short stays, made for guests who arrive with a meeting in the diary or half the country still ahead of them. The operating company is Globalia Hotel Talavera, S.A.U., and the same property has also traded as Be Live City Center Talavera and Oasis Talavera.

The experience begins in the lobby and is built around one simple idea: that guests should never have to ask for anything. Every stay is designed as a carefully arranged sequence, from the texture of the Egyptian cotton sheets to the scent that runs through the public areas. Reception works in Spanish and English at any hour, check-in opens at 14:00 and check-out closes at 12:00, with a left-luggage service for guests who arrive early or leave late.

The hotel has gathered more than five thousand guest reviews across Google, Booking and Tripadvisor, and the same three arguments come back in all of them: the central location, the cleanliness of the rooms and the breakfast buffet. That level of agreement is unusual, and it explains better than any brochure why Hotel Talavera works just as well for a three-day conference as for a single night on the road to Extremadura.
