We booked “Alhambra Palace Hotel” due to its proximity to Granada’s awesome “La Alhambra”. And we enjoyed every minute spent at this hotel! It has been completely renovated but, at the same time, it keeps its traditional style and decor. It’s beautiful and comfortable, with Andalusia reflected at every single detail! So much has been already written about “Alhambra Palace Hotel”, that I won’t write much. If your main interest in Granada is “La Alhambra”, this should be your address in this unique city.
Downtown attractions are are not so close, but easily reachable by taxi.
One last remark: don’t miss its terrace bar overlooking Granada and majestic “Sierra Nevada”.
The Alhambra Palace Hotel is truly magnificent – it was such a wonderful place to stay my first visit to La Alhambra. Photos of the hotel do it no justice, including the views it offers over Granada. While I appreciate contemporary architectural design, the Palace Hotel is an older building – while not everyone will appreciate the relevance of this, it’s age and traditional decor enhanced the transition from the hotel to the Alhambra, located literally steps away.
I had never been to Granada before, and was amazed by how high a hill La Alhambra sits on – for some travelers, this steep climb may wisely necessitate a taxi, as I chose to do upon arrival as I was carrying a heavy backpack.
My room was a bit small, but it was comfortable and flawlessly clean, and included a private bathroom.
When requested, room service was quick to deliver extra towels, as well as extra pillows on my last night, allowing me to sleep with one leg elevated after a minor fall in the city a few hours before. The hotel itself is magnificent – reminiscent of an era of travel long gone, almost like stepping back in time.
I highly suggest wandering through it 🙂 I had a buffet style breakfast on both mornings – the buffet was in a spacious room providing lots of seating options. I didn’t notice any newspapers, but WiFi was available, allowing me to catch up on the news online.
I did a two day private tour of La Alhambra – as the hotel was so close by, it was nice to have a place to call “home” so close by, starting my day rested and relaxed, and ending it without a long or loud journey back to where I was staying.
I look forward to returning to the Alhambra Palace Hotel and happily recommend it to others as well.

Beautiful hotel close to the Alhambra Palace. External facade maintained from original building but all new behind that facade. Modern interior that is largely decorated in neutral tones. Very stylish. Understated luxury. The staff are just wonderful- they truly understand the hospitality sector and make you very welcome during your stay. Service is there when you want it and disappears Into the background when you do not.
I had a deluxe room which was larger than expected ( for a Spanish City hotel). High ceilings were great. Very stylish, well appointed and comfortable room. The thread count on the sheets was heavenly !
Lighting options were brilliant with mood,
bright reading or work option available on
control panel next to bed. Bathroom was
brilliant- large tub and 2 basins in first
rooms with door leading to separate toilet, bidet, shower – the shower was rainforest with a hand held spray option too. 60 inch
screen tv.
Top hotel at prime location. A real 5 star accomodation near to the Alambra and 100 m walk to shuttle bus to town center and other tourist attractions.
Very good and friendly personel. Excellent breakfast included in 100 Euros room rate, a bargain for a 5 star. Very cosy rooms with modern, luxurious decoration.
Good insulation from street noise.
To small minusses: rooftop swimming pool not heated and rather expensive valet parking.
However, for us the best you can get in Granada.
