Aranjuez has about 23 hotels and hostales, concentrated in the historic center, with a single resort-style hotel in the northern La Montaña district. Most travelers want the center so the palace is a short walk away. Check the weather by month guide to pack for the season, and the Aranjuez city guide for the full town overview.
Where to Stay in Aranjuez: Historic Center (Centro)
The Centro puts you within a 10-minute walk of the Royal Palace, the Prince’s Garden, and the Plaza de San Antonio. This is where the town’s best-rated hotels cluster, and it is the right base if you are visiting for one or two nights without a car. For when to come, see the best time to visit guide.
