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

"Room Mate Leo is a three-pearl hotel in central Granada, a short walk from shopping and dining, and under a five-minute stroll from the Granada Cathedral." Full review
Lonely Planet "Opens through a jazzy lobby filled with crimson sofas and splashes of sparkle. Stylish yet unfussy rooms (some with terraces) channel a fun, colourful design...great value in a super-central shopping" Full review
