Guests will love tasting delicioso varieties of paella in the hotel’s courtyard:

Lush landscaping, cozy fire pits and ample seating creates the perfect venue for Chefs Gallardo, Bonilla and Segovia’s live paella stations. Using their own recipes they will prepare and serve authentic paella including shrimp, chicken, mussels and secret ingredients in their giant pans.

An array of gazpacho, pan con tomate, manchego cheese, serrano ham, tortilla de patatas, olives, anchovies and flan de caramel will accompany the chef's paella for $15 per person.
