"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.

"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."

Ask to see the Golden Book, signed by the hotel's famous guests.

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.

Star Service
"In the city's most panoramic setting, on a scenic bluff alongside the Alhambra, this property is Granada's most famous hotel."

Avoid the rooms facing the back of the hotel and the road.
