Parador de Granada
Unique & Elegant Historic Setting
First up, you can’t get much nearer than a hotel which is quite literally set within the grounds of the Alhambra Palace. If you’ve never heard of a parador before, allow us to explain.

There are 94 of these luxury hotels across Spain, all managed by the public company, Paradores de Turismo de España. The Parador de Granada is housed in a 15th century convent with original features including stone archways and exposed wooden beams.
