About us
Dream, vision and heart
At La Sinagoga Posada Real, it all began with a dream: a vision of creating a place that combined the rich history of Peñaranda de Duero with a warm, modern atmosphere. From the start we have put our heart and soul into every corner of the inn, to give our guests a unique experience full of comfort, warmth and attention to detail.
Our story:
a dream come true
The story of La Sinagoga Posada Real goes back to 1992, when our founder, Mamen Vélez, set out on a path full of challenges and opportunities. In the middle of an economic crisis, and with the unconditional support of her family, Mamen opened the first hotel in the town of Peñaranda de Duero. What began as a modest project became a success thanks to the dedication and passion of those who believed in the dream.
Over the years the business has grown and evolved while keeping the essence of its beginnings. In 2006 we opened two new properties, and in 2020, after almost three decades in hospitality in Peñaranda de Duero, La Sinagoga Posada Real was born, a new chapter in our story. It is the result of years of work and dedication: a place where guests can stay in a historic building with every modern comfort.
Our philosophy:
more than just a place to stay
At La Sinagoga Posada Real, we believe hospitality is much more than offering a place to sleep. Our philosophy is based on caring for our surroundings, our guests’ wellbeing and creating experiences that last.
One of our core principles is respect for the environment. We use clean energy at the inn, such as solar power and heat pumps, and underfloor heating systems that save a significant amount of energy. We firmly believe in preserving the natural surroundings and work to minimise our environmental impact in everything we do.
But what matters most to us is the personal service we give every guest. We are proud to create a friendly, family atmosphere where everyone who stays with us feels at home. From the moment you arrive at La Sinagoga Posada Real, our team is here to make sure you have a unique experience, tailored to your needs and wishes.
Meet our manager: Mamen Vélez
Mamen Vélez, founder and manager of La Sinagoga Posada Real, is passionate about hospitality and nature. Over the years, Mamen has refined her vision of what it means to give guests an unforgettable experience. As she puts it, “it may be age, experience, successes, failures, pain or joy, but now I know exactly where I want to go and who I want to share this journey with”.
In her free time, Mamen enjoys the countryside around Peñaranda de Duero, walking in the woods of La Pinosa, a charming spot of towering oaks and holm oaks. These walks have taught her to value the small details that make every stay at La Sinagoga Posada Real so special: the warmth of the fire in winter, the fresh air among the trees and the company of loved ones.
Mamen and her team work tirelessly to make sure every guest has an unforgettable experience at La Sinagoga Posada Real. Whether through attention to detail in every room, outdoor activities or tailor-made special events, their mission is to make every stay unique and memorable.
