A historical hotel uniquely located within the Alhambra palace complex. This Parador occupies a 15th-century former convent built on the site of a Nasrid princes' palace, giving guests the once-in-a-lifetime experience of staying amid the Alhambra's gardens and courtyards after visiting hours. Its cloistered patios, Moorish fountains, and original stonework immerse visitors in history – indeed, it's often called the place to stay in Granada for its "enchanting location and charming atmosphere". Many rooms offer views of the Generalife gardens or the Albaicín quarter. Inside, décor is elegant and understated, with classic furniture, parquet floors, and modern comforts integrated into the historic architecture.

- Amenities
- The on-site restaurant is renowned for regional Andalusian cuisine served in a refectory hall that was once the convent's dining room – perfect for savoring a meal of gazpacho or lamb slow-cooked in honey while overlooking the Alhambra's illuminated walls. There are tranquil gardens and terraces exclusively for guests, where you can relax under ancient elms and soak in views of the palace towers. Due to its heritage status, the Parador doesn't have a pool or spa, but it compensates with cultural riches – there's a small museum room, guided tours can be arranged, and simply wandering the grounds at sunrise or sunset (before the daytime crowds arrive) is an unforgettable perk. Free Wi-Fi, parking, and all the essentials are provided.
