Opened in 1910 in a Moorish-revival building, it sits on the Alhambra hill with views over the city and the Vega. About 6 minutes on foot from the Nasrid Palaces entrance area and 14 from Granada Cathedral.
Hotel Alhambra Palace is a luxury hotel on the Alhambra hill in Granada, Andalusia, Spain, at Plaza Arquitecto García de Paredes 1. Opened in 1910 in a Moorish-revival building, it sits on the slope below the Alhambra with views over the city, the Vega plain and, on clear days, the Sierra Nevada. The location is about 6 minutes on foot from the Nasrid Palaces entrance area and about 14 minutes from Granada Cathedral, so guests can reach the monument at opening time and descend to the centre on foot, by taxi or by the local bus. The architecture draws on the Nasrid tradition, with horseshoe arches and decorative detail, and the hotel is one of the best-known landmarks of the hill. The property record lists 108 rooms, in double, superior, junior suite and suite categories, which makes it a large traditional hotel with scope for different budgets and group sizes. Wi-Fi is listed. The price range is about €200–€500 per night (roughly $230–$575), with the highest rates at Easter, during the Corpus Christi fair and in the spring and autumn peaks, when Alhambra tickets sell out. The property data does not list a spa, pool, restaurant or fitness room, so visitors who want these should confirm dining and wellness facilities directly; for lunch and dinner, guests can also use the cafés near the Alhambra gates or travel down to the city, where tapas bars serve a free tapa with each drink. Service is that of a full-service luxury hotel, with a staffed reception and the capacity to help with taxis, luggage and timed Nasrid Palaces entry, which should be booked weeks in advance. The hotel suits couples, honeymooners and visitors who value views, history and early access to the Alhambra, and it also attracts groups and travellers on cultural tours. The trade-off is distance from the city's nightlife and a taxi or bus ride to the centre. The telephone number is +34 958 22 14 68 and the website is h-alhambrapalace.es, where room categories, packages and current rates can be confirmed. Drivers should check access and parking arrangements on the hill before arriving.
