Frommer's
"This most famous parador in Spain -- and the hardest to get into -- is on the grounds of the Alhambra." Full review

"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

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