Cardiff
Once you step through the doors of Parador 44, you’d be forgiven for thinking you were in Spain. The residents’ lounge, with honesty bar, offers an array of Spanish drinks and snacks, and much of the furnishing and decor has been sourced from Spanish markets and auctions, including ornate tiles, majestic headboards and shutters. The hotel sits above Asador 44, a restaurant and wine house influenced by grills and ingredients of the Basque Country, Asturias, Galicia and Castilla.
