What guests say about…
Start at the hotel's own Cafe, Restaurant, and Snack bar, which are handy for a quick bite. Right across the street, Bodegas Castaneda is only 100 meters away and serves Spanish dishes. For more tapas options, walk 540 meters to Calle Navas, a pedestrian street known for its bars. The nearby Calle Elvira, north of Plaza Nueva, is packed with tapas spots. Plaza San Miguel Bajo in the Albaicin neighborhood is another good choice for local dishes. Most bars give a free tapa with every drink, so you can sample fried aubergines, Iberian cold cuts, and fried fish as you go.
The hotel sits right at Plaza Nueva, the oldest square in Granada, between the modern commercial center and the charming Carrera del Darro. You are a short walk from the Royal Chapel and the cathedral, each about 3 minutes away, with the Alhambra about 9 minutes on foot. The surrounding streets, like Calle Elvira and the Albaicín, are known for tapas bars and tea shops. From the square, you can walk up toward the Alhambra through the forested route or head into the Albayzin neighborhood. The hotel's own cafe, restaurant, and snack bar are also handy for a quick bite.
From Granada Train Station you are about 1.5 km from the hotel, a straightforward walk of roughly 25 minutes or a short bus ride. From Granada Airport, take the airport bus into the city centre; it drops you near Plaza Nueva, which is just 25 metres from the hotel. A taxi from the airport will also bring you directly to the door. The hotel sits right on Plaza Nueva, the heart of Granada, so you will be steps away from the cathedral and the Alhambra's hill.
In the evening, you're a short walk from Plaza Nueva, where you can enjoy a drink on a terrace or visit one of the nearby tea shops. The hotel has its own cafe, restaurant, and snack bar for a relaxed meal on site. For a lively scene, Calle Elvira and the surrounding streets are known for tapas bars, and there's a flamenco show at Cueva Los Amayas in Sacromonte, about a 2.8 km trip. You're also within a 7-minute walk of Mirador de San Nicolás, a great spot for evening views of the Alhambra.
