Parador de Zamora ReviewThis is the grand address for Zamora, a parador of tranquillity and charm. The site has always played a legendary role in Zamora. Originally fortified as an alcazaba by the Moors during their occupation of Zamora, it was rebuilt in 1459 by the count of Alva y Aliste. Today the structure retains the severe, high-ceilinged dignity of its 15th-century Gothic form. Set 2 blocks south of Plaza Mayor, near the junction of Plaza de Viriato and Calle Ramos Carrión, the parador is richly decorated with medieval armor, antique furniture, tapestries, and potted plants. In winter, glass partitions close off a large inner patio centered on an antique well; baronial fireplaces provide much-appreciated warmth. Midsize rooms are white walled, well maintained, and tastefully decorated with conservative furniture, including beds with firm mattresses.

| 3 stars | Frommer's Exceptional |
Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
