Luxury hotels in Granada with history: a convent, a palace and the Genoese trading house
The luxury hotels in Granada all occupy historic buildings. At the Hotel Palacio De Santa Paula Granada, it is the 16th-century Santa Paula convent: old grave slabs still lie in the cobbled cloister, and the Casa Morisca adds a Moorish house with a 14th-century courtyard. The ensemble of three buildings has been a hotel since 2001; in the Bishop’s Suites of 82 square meters you sleep in four-poster beds.
The Hospes Palacio de Los Patos Granada was built in 1890 by Francisco Giménez Arévalo on what was then the edge of town.

Where to stay in Granada: between the cathedral, the Albaicín and the Alhambra – the right location for your 5-star hotel
Granada is a city to explore on foot, and here you choose between streets rather than neighborhoods. To the east, the Alhambra hill rises with the Generalife gardens, and at its foot lies the Realejo, the old Jewish quarter. To the north, the Albaicín climbs up to the Mirador de San Nicolás, and beyond it begins the Sacromonte with its cave houses.
Around the cathedral: for views of the cathedral, we recommend the Gran Hotel Claridge Granada on Plaza de Villamena, from where the Alhambra and the Albaicín are within walking distance. In the heart of the shopping district, the Seda Club Hotel Granada sits on Plaza de la Trinidad, a few steps from the cathedral and the Royal Chapel.

How long to stay: at a 5-star hotel in Granada, we recommend three nights – one for the Alhambra, one for the Albaicín and the Sacromonte, and one for the Sierra Nevada or the Alpujarras. If you like, combine Granada with Seville or Málaga for a trip through Andalusia.
