Ronda Hotels

Hotels in Ronda Old Town

There are many hotels in Ronda, and several of these are quite superb hotels.  But, quite a few of the people who visit Ronda have a particular desire to stay in the old town with its history and romantic stories. This is the protected zone of Ronda, with very little development allowed, so there aren’t many hotels to choose from.

Ronda’s old town extends from the Puente Nuevo along Calle Armiñan until the old walls and Almocabar Gate, and down as far as the Arab Baths, so we have included the Hotel Alavera de los Baños even though other travel guides might consider it outside the old town.

Here is our list of some of the hotels in Ronda’s old town….Just click the name of the hotel for booking information.

Hotel Montelirio ****
The Montelirio, housed in a 17th century palace is one of Ronda’s most spectacular hotels. Perched as it is on the edge of the Tajo gorge, and with spectacular views from the pool of the Puente Nuevo. The Montelirio is 4 star hotel so you are assured everything you need to enjoy your stay in the city has been provided.
