Alhambra Palace Hotel

When my husband and I first arrived at the hotel, it looked a bit dated, but we were wrong. You have to look around the entire hotel, exploring hidden areas, to see the amazing detail that went into this 1910 gem! It was old world charm beauty! The outdoor balcony restaurant space overlooked the entire city! The breakfast in the restaurant was well done. When Spain won the World Cup, we saw and heard the excitement of the city, on the balcony. Although the hotel is not in the downtown area, it is only a short work downhill to be there. We had been traveling throughout Spain when we arrived here. It was so wonderful to be in a quiet location with the lovely forest across the street that surrounds the Alhambra. We spent time just taking a walk in the forest to relax. The staff was very accommodating. Because I don't eat red meat, ham, or shellfish, I was able to have dinner at the hotel without an issue. On our last day, a special tapas platter was made for me taking into account my food profile. There is no pool or spa at this hotel, but there is a small workout space. If you are looking to relax, sit and have a cocktail in the quiet lobby and bar area, or dinner with a view, I would definitely recommend this hote.!

Just returned from a delightful five night break at the Alhambra Palace Hotel. Check in was quick and efficient- room was ready. We stayed in a city view room with balcony. Our room was directly opposite the lift which concerned us initially however no need as there were double doors to the room and the lift was extremely quiet. The room was spacious with plenty of wardrobe space and lots of hangers ( always a bug bear with me having to ring down for extra hangers). No need here! The bed was large and comfortable with nice bedding. Bathroom was large with a shower over the bath - fine for us. Nice amenities refreshed daily. Breakfast was very nice and relaxed. Could be taken in the restaurant or on the air conditioned balcony and it was handy having plenty of toasters and coffee machines. We had some lovely cocktails in the bar / excellent service The location of the hotel was excellent for us. Very handy to visit the Alhambra and a short walk in to Plaza Nuevo ( bit of an uphill walk back but nothing too taxing) Staff have got it just right .. great service without any pomposity. I would highly recommend this hotel for a stay in Granada

I had high expectations for Alhambra Palace Hotel, as I was looking forward to a truly unique five-star experience in Granada. Unfortunately, while the hotel has many positives, it did not quite meet those expectations. The location is undoubtedly the highlight. Perched on the hilltop next to the Alhambra, it is incredibly convenient for visiting this world-famous attraction. The views from the hotel are also beautiful, overlooking Granada and the surrounding mountains. It is worth noting, however, that it is a reasonable walk down into the main town/ The hotel itself is attractive, but the overall experience felt more like a three- to four-star hotel rather than the five-star property I was expecting. The rooms and bathrooms were smaller than anticipated, and the facilities felt limited. I was also surprised to discover that there was no pool. While the hotel has been designed to capture the atmosphere and grandeur of the Alhambra, it did not quite deliver the unique historic experience I had imagined. Given the surroundings and expectations created by the setting, I think it is difficult for the hotel to truly compete with the history and beauty of the Alhambra itself. The biggest disappointment was the value for money. The pricing reflects a luxury five-star experience, but the overall facilities, rooms, and service felt closer to a four-star hotel.

Amazing hotel close to the Alhambra!

Beautiful hotel in a very good location. Very convenient for visiting the Alhambra. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Appreciated the valet parking. We booked one suite for 2 nights - very spacious. Great views from the hotel generally- this does mean that you are high above the town so the walk up can be difficult for some although there are buses and taxis if needed. Very good selection for breakfast. Dinner was excellent as well.
