Hotel Los Ángeles

Hotel Los Ángeles is a mid-range hotel on the Alhambra hill in Granada, Andalusia, Spain, at Cuesta Escoriaza 17, postcode 18009. The Alhambra hill is the wooded rise on which the Nasrid fortress-palace complex stands, and staying here puts visitors far closer to the monument than any city-centre hotel. The property is about 14 minutes on foot from the Nasrid Palaces entrance area, though the walk is uphill, and about 20 minutes from Granada Cathedral, so the trip down into the city is a longer stroll than from central hotels. Rooms are listed as double, twin and superior categories at roughly €100–€220 per night (about $115–$253), a higher bracket than most central mid-range hotels that reflects the proximity to the Alhambra and the quieter setting. The only amenity recorded is the Alhambra hill location, so visitors should confirm Wi-Fi, air conditioning, parking, breakfast and any restaurant or garden facilities with the hotel on +34 958 22 14 24 or through hotellosangeles.net. The atmosphere on the hill is calmer than in the centre in the evenings, with shaded paths, the Alhambra woods and the surrounding gardens close at hand, which suits couples and travellers whose main aim is the Alhambra and Generalife. Dining options on the hill are more limited than in the city, so guests often walk or take a taxi down to Plaza Nueva or the Realejo for tapas. Early-morning visitors benefit most: with a timed Nasrid Palaces ticket, a short walk gets guests to the gates before the day's tour buses arrive. Reserve both room and Alhambra entry well ahead, since both sell out in spring and autumn. Staying on the hill also means evenings are noticeably quieter than in the centre, with little nightlife and a cooler feel under the trees, which many visitors find a welcome contrast after a day inside the monument.
