The Carmelite hotel has been around for many years under different names and owners, the present owner refurbished the hotel in 2006 into a stylish and fashionable addition to the city centre.
There are 50 bedrooms in total although only the suites and the "designed" rooms have been refurbished into a contemporary style. The remaining 33 bedrooms have a more traditional decor with plainer colours and a less modern look.
The hotel offers free wi-fi in the public areas and attracts a large number of business clients for coffees, tapas and lunches. The restaurant offers a range of cuisine with an emphasis on fresh local produce.
