Áurea Catedral

Áurea Catedral is a luxury hotel at Calle Cárcel Baja 11-13 in the central Cathedral area of Granada, Andalusia, Spain. Calle Cárcel Baja is a short street in the heart of the old town, running close to the cathedral and the Royal Chapel, and the hotel is about 1 minute on foot from Granada Cathedral and 5 minutes from Plaza Nueva. That puts the Alcaicería, the Corral del Carbón, the Carrera del Darro and the lower Albaicín within a short walk, in a part of the city where the Renaissance and Baroque monuments sit beside surviving Moorish street patterns. The Alhambra can be reached by the Cuesta de Gomérez on foot or by minibus. The hotel is part of the Áurea collection of Eurostars Hotel Company, and its page on eurostarshotels.com carries current details. Room categories include double rooms, superior rooms, junior suites and suites. Rates generally range from €150 to €350 per night, with peaks around Holy Week, Corpus Christi and the autumn season. Specific amenities beyond the central location are not confirmed in the listing, so guests should check Wi-Fi, air conditioning, breakfast and any wellness facilities at booking. The streets around the cathedral hold many tea houses, restaurants and bars, with a free tapa served with every drink, and the Alcaicería offers crafts and souvenirs. The service character is that of an upscale city hotel for couples, small groups and cultural travellers who want to be among the monuments. Staff can generally help with Alhambra tickets, taxis and excursions to the Sierra Nevada, the Alpujarras and the coast, and the phone number is +34 958 80 83 99. The surrounding lanes are largely pedestrian, so guests with cars should ask about permitted access and parking before arrival. The cathedral bells and street life mean mornings can start early, which suits sightseers well.
