Petit Palace Santa María

Petit Palace Santa María pays tribute to the port identity of El Puerto de Santa María. The flagship of Christopher Columbus's voyage, the Santa María, departed from this Gaditan city in 1492. Our building rests on the memory of the place. The same urban fabric that named the ship that, centuries ago, changed the course of history.

Here we are known as ""the Santa María hotel"" for 30 years. The expression that identifies us among the locals contains centuries of Atlantic legacy. An Andalusian patio, golden moldings, a neo-Andalusian façade: this stately construction has its own personality.

Petit Palace Santa María, sailing through history

Referring to Petit Palace Santa María is to evoke the past of El Puerto de Santa María from within. A total gateway to a city linked to the ocean from the beginning. Are you curious about what it was like before? This navigation chart preserves stories that maps do not tell. Layer by layer, the location that saw Columbus's ship depart will be revealed.

Cozy rooms, pool and terrace with views of the Guadalete River, parking, meeting rooms, and buffet breakfast with local ingredients. We are pet friendly.

A hotel inseparable from the life of the Port

We are on Bajamar Street, in the heart of Gaditan cultural heritage. The bay of Cádiz, in an ancient city where the presence of the sea is customary. It was Alfonso X El Sabio who named it Puerto de Santa María.

Nearby: the Casa de Don Fernando, the Monastery of La Victoria, the Castle of San Marcos, and the Main Prioral Church. Nearby beaches: La Puntilla, Valdelagrana, and El Aculadero. Among sherry wine cellars and flamenco, history lives itself.
