Alhambra Palace Hotel
It was a beautiful property right across Alhambra. The only set back was going and walking back from old town was quite a hike up to the hotel

Hotel Los Angeles, Granada
Great area, not far from Alhambra and a short drive from city center. The hotel was nice with good amenties. The lobby and common areas are more recently renovated and well decorated. But our room was older and some renovation would have made it look even better. Breakfast was also pretty good. Overall ...
