Famed as the home of the enchanting Moorish Alhambra, Granada is a beautiful southern Spanish destination for culture and heritage aficionados. It’s also a buzzy city for keen foodies and sociable travellers to discover, with a plethora of brilliant bars and flamenco clubs. A tremendous selection of fantastic hotels and B&Bs await visitors, and it can be a challenge to select the best places to stay in Granada. Luckily, our Gurus have done the hard work for you — read on for their top recommendations!
The Alhambra, with its water gardens, intricate mosaics and marvellous colonnaded courtyards, is undoubtedly Granada’s most well-known attraction. Delve into the city’s rich Islamic heritage at the palace, or take a guided walking tour of the historic centre and surrounding neighbourhoods. Realejo, the old Jewish quarter, is fascinating, as is hillside Sacramonte — once the preserve of Granada’s gypsies and now the best spot for live flamenco. Don’t miss the chance to experience a traditional hammam, or to marvel at the lavish Baroque Monasterio de la Cartuja.
If it’s wine, tapas and seasonal produce that you’re after, look to the bars of Plaza Nueva, Plaza Pescaderia and the Paseo de los Tristes. The bustling Mercado San Augustín, the finest market in the city, is another foodie highlight. Venture into the surrounding mountains for days of horse riding, hiking and mountain biking, before joining locals at hole-in-the-wall bars for sangria and flamenco aplenty!
But don't forget that this is an incredibly popular destination — not just in the peak summer months. If you want to guarantee a room in one of the best places to stay in Granada, get organised and book well ahead.
