Casa de Federico

Casa de Federico is a small mid-range hotel of 14 rooms at Calle Horno Marina 13 in the central Cathedral area of Granada, Andalusia, Spain. The name recalls Federico García Lorca, Granada's most celebrated poet, whose memory is woven into the city's cultural identity. The hotel lies in the old-town streets close to the cathedral, about 3 minutes away on foot, and about 8 minutes from Plaza Nueva. From there, the Royal Chapel, the Alcaicería, the Corral del Carbón and the start of the Albaicín are all easy walks. The Alhambra is reached via the Cuesta de Gomérez or by minibus. With only 14 rooms, the property offers a more personal scale than the larger chain hotels on the Gran Vía and Acera del Darro. Guests can choose double rooms, twin rooms and superior rooms, and free Wi-Fi is listed among the amenities. Nightly rates generally range from €70 to €150, with peaks around Holy Week, the Corpus Christi fair and the autumn season. Dining details are not confirmed in the listing, so breakfast arrangements should be checked at booking; the surrounding streets are full of bars and restaurants, and Granada's free-tapa custom allows inexpensive evening meals. There is no confirmed spa or pool, which is common for small town-centre hotels. The service character is that of a small, personal city hotel suited to couples and independent travellers who value being able to walk everywhere. Staff can generally help with Alhambra ticket queries, flamenco show suggestions and excursions to the Sierra Nevada, the Alpujarras and the coast. The reception phone is +34 958 20 85 34. Because the old centre has limited vehicle access, guests arriving by car should ask the hotel about parking and approach routes before travelling. The hotel is a sensible choice for visitors who prefer a quieter, smaller base within a few minutes of the main monuments.
