If you fancy a trip back in time while you’re staying in Ronda, this hotel should be one of the 4 star accommodation options on your list. The Reina Victoria Hotel, named after Spain’s Queen Victoria Eugenia, takes you back to the early 20th century. Built in 1906, this hotel in Ronda has an air of the Victorian age about it. The hotel´s 89 rooms have all commodities and magnificient overviews to the montain and to the famous "Tajo de Ronda", the deep river gorge.
Architecturally, the Reina Victoria Hotel with its green-tiled roofs and shutters is more Swiss-like than Andalusian. Once inside, the Alpine connection disappears and the décor in this Ronda 4 stars hotel is decidedly faithful to its surroundings. Andalusian furniture and touches are everywhere as well as a definite English influence in the hunting prints on the walls, flowered wall papers and chintz curtains.
Situated at the northern end of New Ronda, the Reina Victoria Hotel is still within easy reach of the top Ronda attractions. In common with another of Ronda’s luxury accommodation options, the Ronda Parador, this 4 stars hotel shares a privileged location at the very edge of the deep river gorge. The 120 metre cliff down to the river lies at the bottom of the Reina Victoria Hotel gardens whose palmtrees and pines provide plenty of peaceful places to sit and contemplate the panoramic views. The vistas of the Ronda countryside and mountains can also be seen from many of the terraces in this Ronda hotel.
This 4 stars hotel in Ronda with its old-world charm is not for those in search of the modern Spain and some will find the décor a little démodé. But if you like a traditional touch when it comes to luxury accommodation and fancy a taste of Ronda a century ago when its only tourists were Europe’s aristocracy and royalty, the Reina Victoria Hotel is the hotel for you in Ronda.
