Alhambra Palace Hotel |
Alhambra Palace
You can easily spot this five-star hotel, with its striking, ochre-coloured crenellated walls perched on the hill, from anywhere in Granada’s old town. It is one of the closest hotels to the Alhambra, five minutes’ walk away, while the city centre is also a short distance, just down the hill (though a steep climb with shopping bags or a full stomach).
The grand interior has marble pillars and floors, and intricate Moorish-themed plasterwork on its horseshoe-shaped arches, echoing that of the Alhambra palace itself. The 126 guest rooms offering traditional décor, with WIFI and plasma TVs, and bathrooms with original tiling. Most rooms and suites offers views over the city, the Alhambra forest, or the Sierra Nevada mountains – the upside of being located outside the centre – and some have balconies. The higher rooms are smaller, but with better views. There’s an onsite cash machine, unusual for Spanish hotels, but handy since you’re outside the city centre, and free parking.
