Having adorned the hillside like a gem for over 100 years , Hotel Alhambra Palace is an established symbol of colonial opulence in Granada . The hotel ’ s earthen-hued walls are a commanding sight , teetering on the hillside , just within the grounds of its ancient namesake . From here , astounding views spread across the urban rooftops to the distant peaks of the Sierra Navada Mountains . The promises made by the grand façade are fulfilled within ; wherever you look the lavish interiors glint and sparkle in imitation of the excesses of the ancient palace nearby . Moorish influences are seen in details such as columns , horseshoe archways , authentic chandeliers , decorative wall tiles and ornate carvings . The effect is luxurious and elegant . The restaurant is no exception , where high ceilings are supported by broad columns , and peach-coloured walls feature stained glass windows . This is a refined environment for dining on international dishes of local produce , which is served alongside regional wines . The best tables spread into a conservatory-like area lined with windows that confront the stunning scenery as it spills away from the hotel ’ s feet . You can also enjoy the sight from a terrace that spans the width of the façade . By evening , retire to your accommodation for sublime rest in the quiet of the 108 guestrooms and suites . This is when Hotel Alhambra Palace ’ s removal from the centre is best appreciated - after a day amid the hubbub of the city .

HOSPES PALACIO DE LOS PATOS Granada
Almunecar - 50 Miles , Jaen - 60 Miles , Malaga - 80 Miles , Seville - 160 Miles , Cordoba - 130 Miles
Protected from the hubbub of urban life within spacious enclosed gardens , the five-star Hospes Palacio de los Patos is a vision of 19th Century grandeur in the centre of Granada . A former palace , the canary-yellow façade of this hotel is furnished with classical design elements that are protected today by UNESCO . A stone ’ s throw from Granada ’ s cathedral , it offers a luxurious place to return to at the end of the day . Unexpected interiors show a confrontation between time-old tradition and ultra-contemporary fixtures and fittings . At the heart of it all is a grand marble staircase beneath an exquisite domed ceiling which is elegant in its classical excess , while a modern light fitting hangs in the midst spectacularly . Elsewhere , marble floors meet contemporary materials such as glass and metal . The simplicity in this decoration continues into the guestrooms , which are located either in the main building or in a newer wing , many with views of the city or gardens . Each is decked out in an up-to-the-minute style modelled around the existing architecture , and with pristine white walls and linens accented by vivid block reds and blacks . Los Patos Restaurant makes the most of its beautiful city centre gardens by serving a menu of traditional Andalusian cuisine on a terrace surrounded by lush foliage . For a bit of end-of-the-day relaxation , seek Bodyna Spa for massages , beauty treatments , or to exploit facilities such as a Turkish bath , sauna and an indoor pool . The Hospes Palacio de los Patos is a place of luxury and relaxation to return to after a day spent exploring Grenada ’ s many sights .
