Parador de Granada

Parador de Granada is a 4 star hotel in Granada. The Alhambra marks the urban setting, full of art and history, in which the Parador is located. After reaching Granada on the dual carriageway, access to the Parador is by the ring road, avoiding the city centre, after following the signs to Motril, Sierra Nevada and Alhambra.

This magnificent building was once a mosque and then a monastery before being converted into a four-star hotel. It's unique location allows guests to wander freely in the glorious Alhambra gardens when the day-trippers have gone. The bedrooms are spacious and comfortable, if a little uninspired, and the large bathrooms are all attractively tiled. Thirty-two of the bedrooms have great views over the Alhambra and the Generalife Gardens. The stone-flagged patios, corridors and stairways have alcoves housing carved wooden saints that remind you that this used to be a monastery, although nowadays there are bright rugs, lots of paintings and fine antique furniture to cheer the place up a bit. Its The dining room serves good local fare and gets very busy, especially in summer when you can eat out on the terrace.
