PLAZUELA DEL CARBON SUITES, Cadiz – A Smart Stay in the City
About the Hotel
Heritage Apartments Overview
Plazuela Del Carbon Suites occupies a restored 18th-century bourgeois house in Cádiz's Plaza de España. The building retains original features like marble carvings, galleries around a central patio, and a lookout tower. It offers 18 soundproofed apartments with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, kitchens (with stovetop, refrigerator, microwave), and private bathrooms with walk-in showers. Units range from studios to two-bedroom layouts, some with city-view balconies.
Historic Building Details
Designed by architect Torcuato Cayón in 1736-1745, the property was once part of Cádiz's merchant aristocracy. Original Carrara marble and mahogany elements remain alongside restored galleries and staircases. The façade features 12 compositional axes and a later-added tower. Protected as Architectural Heritage (Category 2), it underwent renovation by Vilches Arquitectos to add an elevator and adapt units while preserving structural details like corner guards and fencing.
Central Old Town Location
The apartments are steps from Puertas de Tierra (0.5 km), the historic city gate, and the Falla Theater (1.4 km). Nearby landmarks include Arco del Populo (0.5 km), Plaza de las Flores (1 km), and La Caleta beach (1.4 km). Cádiz Cathedral and the bus station are in the Old Town district. Paid parking is available 130 meters away.
Included Services
Guests receive free toiletries, towels, and kitchenware. Cleaning and bed-making are available on request at no extra cost. The front desk provides tourist information. One ground-floor apartment has wheelchair access with a roll-in shower. Ironing facilities and a washer/dryer are available in units.
Local Context
The building was commissioned by the Count of the Park, who developed multiple properties in the area during Cádiz's 18th-century trade boom. Nearby Plaza de San Juan de Dios once housed colonial warehouses. Today, the apartments are 0.5 km from Dr. Zurita Street and face Plaza de España's neoclassical Customs building.
