Hotel El Ladrón del Agua

Hotel El Ladrón del Agua stands at Carrera del Darro 13 in Granada, Andalusia, Spain, postcode 18009, on the riverside promenade that runs from Plaza Nueva along the River Darro beneath the Alhambra on one side and the Albaicín on the other. This is among the most atmospheric streets in the city, lined with Moorish-era buildings, the Arab baths known as El Bañuelo, churches and small terraces. Plaza Nueva is about 3 minutes away on foot and Granada Cathedral about 8, making the hotel one of the best-placed mid-range options for visitors who want to walk everywhere. The building takes its name from a historic water-theft story associated with the Darro, and the interior is typically described as a restored house with traditional Granadan details, though the specific layout should be confirmed with the property. Rooms are listed as double, twin and superior categories at roughly €70–€150 per night (about $81–$173), and the hotel is recorded as wheelchair accessible, which is unusual in this historic district. No restaurant, pool or spa is listed in the available data; however, cafés, tapas bars and tea houses are within a few steps along the Carrera del Darro and in Plaza Nueva. The service style is that of a small, personal hotel suited to couples and independent travellers, and the phone number is +34 958 21 50 40 with the website at ladrondeagua.com for enquiries. The Carrera del Darro is closed to most vehicles for stretches, so arrival by taxi usually means a short walk with luggage from a drop-off point. Evening walks along the river toward the Paseo de los Tristes give views of the Alhambra walls lit at night. Daytime foot traffic on the Carrera del Darro is heavy, so the quietest moments are early morning and late evening, when the river sounds and the stone façades along the promenade can be enjoyed with few other people around.
