Hotel Palacio de Santa Inés

Hotel Palacio de Santa Inés is a 35-room mid-range hotel at Cuesta de Santa Inés 9 in the Albaicín quarter of Granada, Andalusia, Spain, postcode 18010. The name refers to a historic palace-style building on a short, steep street rising from the Carrera del Darro toward the upper Albaicín, and the hotel is about 4 minutes on foot from Plaza Nueva and 8 from Granada Cathedral. This makes it one of the better-placed hotels in the Albaicín for visitors who want a historic setting yet easy access to the city centre and the Alhambra route. Rooms are listed as double, twin and superior categories at roughly €70–€150 per night (about $81–$173). Amenities recorded include free Wi-Fi and air conditioning, the latter a practical advantage during Granada's hot summers, and the property's 35-room size gives it a small-hotel character rather than a large chain feel. No restaurant, pool or spa is listed, so guests typically eat in nearby tapas bars and teterías along the Carrera del Darro and in Plaza Nueva. The service style is that of a boutique-leaning hotel for couples and independent travellers who value atmosphere, and the website palaciosantaines.es and phone +34 958 22 23 62 are available for enquiries, including questions about any courtyard, terrace or breakfast arrangements not specified in the available data. The Cuesta de Santa Inés is steep and cobbled, and vehicles have restricted access in this part of the Albaicín, so arrival by taxi may require a short walk with luggage. Evenings are quiet compared with Plaza Nueva, yet the lively terraces of the Carrera del Darro and the Paseo de los Tristes, with views up to the Alhambra, remain a few minutes away. The surrounding streets also hold several small churches, Arab-period remains and craft shops, so the walk from the hotel to the river is itself a short sightseeing route that needs no ticket.
