WorldHotels™ Crafted Collection Launches in Spain with the Sofraga Palacio in Avila
Phoenix, Arizona (February 27, 2023) – WorldHotels announced today that the Sofraga Palacio has joined the brand as the first Crafted collection hotel in Spain. A new 4-star hotel located in the historical city of Avila, the Sofraga Palacio is part of an extensive restoration to the original 16th century palacio, with a design that retains all the charm and elegance of the original palace, but with every modern comfort and convenience.
“The Sofraga Palacio is an amazing addition to our global portfolio and a perfect property to launch our Crafted collection in Spain,” said Ron Pohl, President of WorldHotels. “Spain is a key market of growth for WorldHotels and we are excited to introduce our valued guests to the stunning Sofraga Palacio hotel.”
The Sofraga Palacio offers 27 high quality, luxurious and unique bedrooms and suites, all with impressive views of the Palacio and surrounding area, with some overlooking the famous Avila Romanic Wall and the Cathedral. Guests are invited to start each day with a full and varied 'a la carte' breakfast or take advantage of a full room service menu. The hotel’s renowned on-site restaurant, Restaurante Sofraga Palacio, harmoniously blends the Romanic wall with modern aesthetics and unites traditional dishes of the region with the most avant-garde flare. Relaxing with a light bite and perfectly paired wine in the hotel’s garden terrace or in front of the first-floor fireplace overlooking the palace grounds is a wonderful way to end a busy day of exploring.
“The WorldHotels brand offers a carefully selected portfolio of first-class, sophisticated and stylish properties, and we are honored to be part of such a distinguished brand,” said Ismael Salgueiro, Hotel Director/General Manager of Sofraga Palacio. “The Sofraga Palacio is a perfect choice for travelers who crave creativity and immersive experiences with the highest standards of service.”
Located just 350 feet from Avila City Hall, the Sofraga Palacio is perfectly situated near popular points of interest, including the Ávila Cathedral, Convent of Saint Teresa, Lienzo Norte Conference and Exhibition Centre, La Viña Garden, Castilla y Leon Tourism Office, Avila Provincial Council and Torreón de los Guzmanes.
