"Great if you’re dropping into Granada just to see the Alhambra, this comfortable hotel on the edge of the city is an easy 10-minute drive to the monument, and the city bus number 33 goes right by too."

Ask for a unit in the older section, which is furnished with antiques; rooms in the more modern wing are less inspired.
DK Eyewitness
"From the elegant bedrooms, you can hear the fountains of the Generalife and enjoy blissful views of the city and the ancient palace."
Star Service
"This parador deserves kudos for its tasteful, eclectic design and superlative location in Granada's most tranquil setting, surrounded by the Alhambra's thick, fragrant gardens."

For a splurge-worthy bed, choose a suite with a view of the rose garden or Generalife in the distance.

Booking (at least three months ahead) is essential.
