Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Centro
Room Mate Leo brings Room Mate's signature colourful, design-led ethos to Granada's pedestrianised city centre, delivering stylish rooms, a generous breakfast, and a central location at a price point well below the city's luxury tier. The rooftop pool is a summer essential.
Albaicín
A 16th-century Renaissance palace in the Albaicín with remarkably preserved original frescoes, carved ceilings, and a courtyard fountain. Santa Inés is Granada's most characterful small hotel — a place that feels more like a private house than a hotel, with an attentive team and views of the Alhambra from the upper rooms.
One of Granada's most enchanting small hotels, the Alcubilla del Caracol is a traditional carmen — an Andalusian villa with gardens — perched on the Alhambra hill above the Realejo neighbourhood. Seven rooms, terraced gardens, and a sense of privileged seclusion make it the city's most romantic retreat.
Centro
A restored 19th-century palace in the heart of the city centre, Hospes Palacio de los Patos is Granada's most celebrated design hotel. The Moorish-meets-neoclassical interiors, intimate courtyard pool, and the exceptional Bodyna Spa make it the obvious choice for travellers who want luxury and convenience in equal measure.
Albaicín
The grande dame of Granada, the Alhambra Palace has dominated the hill below the Nasrid fortress since 1910. Its Moorish-inspired architecture, legendary terrace bar with views of the entire city, and ornate public rooms offer an experience unlike any other — you feel you're inhabiting the Alhambra's mythology rather than simply visiting it.
Albaicín
Tucked into a former aristocratic mansion in the historic Albaicín quarter, Casa 1800 offers an intimate, personal alternative to Granada's larger hotels. The rooftop terrace delivers mesmerising Alhambra views, the interiors are richly decorated with Moorish tilework and carved wood, and the free afternoon tea service is one of the city's most civilised rituals.
