Located just off of the busy Calle Recogidas in Albaicin, Palacio de los Patos is the best place to stay when visiting Granada. Set in a charming, 19th-century palace, the property is a quaint, gated oasis, removed from the city’s tourists.
Although the exterior of the hotel has a historic, Moorish aesthetic, the interior design is contemporary, offering guests a sense of place without sacrificing modern luxuries. The main building houses a grand marble staircase, the lobby and some guest rooms. Directly behind the main building and past the courtyard is the contemporary wing, with additional guest rooms. Accommodations in both areas are individually appointed and modern, but those in the new wing are even more so.
Among the hotel’s notable features are an underground Bodyna spa and a beautifully lit outdoor terrace, the perfect spot for a cocktail on a nice night. While Hospes Palacio de los Patos is the most luxurious hotel option in Granada, guests should expect a comfortable, but not pampering, stay.
