Abades Recogidas

Abades Recogidas is a mid-range hotel at Calle Recogidas 11 in the central Cathedral area of Granada, Andalusia, Spain. Calle Recogidas is one of the main shopping and commercial streets of the modern centre, running south-west from Puerta Real, and the hotel therefore sits among shops, cafés, restaurants and bus stops rather than in a historic alley. Granada Cathedral is about 8 minutes away on foot and Plaza Nueva about 11 minutes, so the Royal Chapel, the Alcaicería, the Carrera del Darro and the Albaicín are all manageable on foot. The Alhambra is reached by bus from the centre or by the climb from Plaza Nueva. The hotel belongs to the Abades chain, which runs several properties in Andalusia, and its website is abadeshoteles.com. Guests can choose double rooms, twin rooms and superior rooms, in a standard business-and-leisure format with Granada's central position as the main attraction. Rates generally range between €100 and €220 per night, with the highest prices in spring, during Holy Week and the Corpus Christi festival, and in the autumn season. Breakfast is typically available, and the surrounding streets offer a wide choice of bars and restaurants, with Granada's tradition of a free tapa with every drink making informal dinners inexpensive. Details of a spa, pool or fitness area are not confirmed in the listing, so guests wanting those facilities should check with the hotel. The service character is that of a city hotel suited to couples, families and business travellers, with a reception that can help with Alhambra ticket queries, taxis and excursions to the Sierra Nevada and the Alpujarras. The reception phone is +34 958 327 200. The location is a particular advantage for travellers arriving by train or bus, as the main transport hubs are a short taxi ride away, and for shoppers who want the high street on the doorstep.
