What specific term is used for manor houses, castles, monasteries, and mansions that have been converted into hotels?

Latitude
Paradores
Peninsula
Lakes

The correct answer is: Paradores

The term "paradores" specifically refers to unique accommodations that are often luxury hotels converted from historical buildings, such as manor houses, castles, monasteries, and mansions. This concept originated in Spain, where the government established these hotels to promote tourism and preserve the country's rich historical architecture. By transforming these heritage sites into places for guests to stay, paradores offer travelers a distinctive experience that combines comfort with cultural and historical ambiance. The other options do not relate to this concept. "Latitude" typically pertains to geographical coordinates, while "peninsula" describes a landform surrounded by water on three sides, and "lakes" refer to bodies of water. None of these terms align with the idea of historic buildings being repurposed as hotels.
