Hotel Peralada
History & Story
Hotel Peralada first opened its doors in 2001, originally oriented to golfers and visitors from Barcelona and southern France. In 2018, the hotel underwent a complete renovation, adding in eight exclusive suites to its offerings. In 2017 Castle Peralada Resort’s Restaurant received a Michelin Star. In 2019 renowned chef Paco Pérez joined as an external advisor. In the years that followed, with a renewed management team, the hotel has solidified its focus on service excellence, while strengthening its sales strategy to provide an unmatched experience for its guests focusing in gastronomy, wellness and culture.
Date Renewal
The hotel’s current interior design, created by Sandra Tarruella in 2018, provides a contemporary and elegant feel. In 2022, a new breakfast room was introduced at La Masia. In 2025, the hotel unveils a new central kitchen and relaunches two revamped rooms at the Wine Spa.
Date added extensions
Opened in 1992, the Peralada Golf Course (18 holes) has since become an essential part of the Peralada offer. In 2019, the Mirador Ballroom at Peralada Castle was constructed, adding to the offerings of Peralada Resort. In 2022, the resort unveiled its new winery to further enhance the guest experience.
Main Strengths, Special Touch
At Hotel Peralada 5*, we redefine the boutique luxury experience by embracing the essence of the Empordà region—where nature, culture, and excellence come together in perfect harmony. Nestled in a serene landscape, the hotel offers a world of refined pleasures, from a Wine Spa dedicated to well-being to an 18-hole golf course and a selection of three exceptional restaurants. Peralada is more than a destination. A 14th-century castle houses a Michelin-starred restaurant and an exclusive casino, while its gardens and halls provide a timeless setting for private events. Nearby, a historic convent preserves centuries of artistic heritage, and a state-of-the-art winery, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architects, elevates the wine experience to new heights. Hotel Peralada 5* is a sanctuary of sophistication, where luxury is understated, service is impeccable, and every detail is designed to inspire.
