Hotel Reina Cristina

Hotel Reina Cristina is a mid-range hotel at Calle Tablas 4 in the central Cathedral area of Granada, Andalusia, Spain, postcode 18002. Calle Tablas is a short street in the old centre near Plaza de Mariana Pineda and the Casa de los Tiros area, and the hotel is about 5 minutes on foot from Granada Cathedral and 9 from Plaza Nueva. That puts the Royal Chapel, the Alcaicería, Plaza de Bib-Rambla and the main shopping streets within a few minutes on largely level ground. The street is a short walk from the Plaza de Mariana Pineda, one of the squares most associated with the city's literary and political history, and a pleasant place for a coffee between sights. Guests who prefer to explore on foot will find that most of the old centre can be covered without transport, with the Albaicín and the Alhambra reachable by bus or taxi when energy flags. Rooms are listed as double, twin and superior categories at roughly €70–€150 per night (about $81–$173). The only amenity recorded is the Cathedral-area location, so guests should confirm Wi-Fi, air conditioning, breakfast and parking with the hotel on +34 958 253 211 or through hotelreinacristina.com. No restaurant, pool or spa is listed in the available data, but the surrounding streets are rich in tapas bars and cafés where drinks traditionally come with a free tapa. The service style is that of a traditional central hotel for couples, families and cultural visitors who prefer to be close to the city's historic monuments. Buses to the Alhambra and the Albaicín can be caught from nearby stops, and taxis are easy to find. Rates peak during Holy Week, Corpus Christi and autumn weekends, so early booking is advisable. Visitors on short stays often use the hotel as a base for a compact walking itinerary covering the cathedral, the Royal Chapel, the Alcaicería and Plaza Nueva, returning between sights for a rest in the afternoon heat.
