Leonor de Aquitania is situated right in the center of the old town, a few meters from the Main Square; a villa palace from the 18th Century houses this small hotel.

It is located in the historical part of Cuenca, with a view over the Huecar Gorge. The area also includes the main cultural institutions: Menendez Pelayo University, Castilla-La Mancha University, Museum of Abstract Art, Archeological, Diocesan Museums and it is very close to the Cathedral, Castle, Town Hall, Mangana Tower, Hanging Houses, St. Peter, St. Paul and St. Michael churches.

Who was Leonor de Aquitania in reality? the hotel owes its name to this woman, although many of the historians who have dealt with the conquest in Cuenca, when they speak about the king who took part in it, Alfonso VII, assure that his wife was Leonor de Aquitania. The mistake did not just stay in the historical fact in itself but amongst other references, the city has, apart from the hotel, a polyphonic choir with the same name. Without any doubt, it was a mistake from the older historians but, since it was repeated so many times, it became a legend.
