Concierge "First opened in 1910, this pink monolith of a faux-Moorish palace on Alhambra hill... is still a good luxury option—especially for connoisseurs of full-on Arabian kitsch."

If you need to keep in budget, ask for one of the standards with a balcony.
Fodor's "Built by a local duke in 1910, this neo-Moorish hotel is on leafy grounds at the back of the Alhambra hill, and 2012 saw completion of the restoration of its very Arabian Nights interior." Full review

Ask to see the Golden Book, signed by the hotel's famous guests.
Frommer's "Evoking a Moorish fortress complete with a crenellated roofline, a crowning dome, geometric tile work, and the suggestion of a minaret, this legendary hotel is a good choice." Full review
i
Ask for one with a balcony opening onto a view of the city of Granada, but avoid the court rooms, whose windows lack double-glazing.
Insight Guides "This luxuriously decorated hotel, with around 126 rooms, is housed within an impressive Moorish-style palace on the edge of the hill that the Alhambra stands on (five minutes’ walk away)."
Star Service "In the city's most panoramic setting, on a scenic bluff alongside the Alhambra, this property is Granada's most famous hotel." Full review
i
Avoid the rooms facing the back of the hotel and the road.

"The 126-room Hotel Alhambra Palace merits the adjective “grand” -- the impressive building is more than a century old and housed a hospital during the Spanish Civil War." Full review

"More boutique b&b than hotel; if you’re looking for bellhops and lots of bowing and scraping then Palacio de los Navas isn’t going to be for you." Full review
Lonely Planet "Sumptuous 16th-century building with individually furnished rooms with lots of cool creams and whites, original columns and doors, terracotta tiled floors and desks... Convenient for nightlife." Full review
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"The 19 rooms have wrought-iron bedheads and an instantly soothing feel; those on the top floor are attic-style with sloping wood-beamed ceilings. Staff are charmingly helpful." Full review
