This place is deservedly popular, so book well in advance.
Fodor's "This is Spain's most expensive and most popular parador, right within the walls of the Alhambra." Full review

Ask for a unit in the older section, which is furnished with antiques; rooms in the more modern wing are less inspired.

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." Full review

For a splurge-worthy bed, choose a suite with a view of the rose garden or Generalife in the distance.
Rough Guide "Without question the most desirable – and most expensive – place to stay in Granada; a fifteenth-century converted monastery in the Alhambra grounds."
