Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Alhambra Palace
Pl. Arquitecto García de Paredes 1, Granada, Andalusia, 18009, Spain
Built by a local duke in 1910, this neo-Moorish hotel is on leafy grounds at the back of the Alhambra hill and has a very Arabian Nights interior (think orange-and-brown overtones, multicolor tiles, and Moorish-style arches and pillars). The rooms are large and warmly decorated, with mosaic-tiled bathrooms, and all have views—the ones overlooking the city are particularly majestic. The terrace also has wonderful views and is a perfect place to watch the sun set while enjoying a cocktail or dinner. Ask to see the Golden Book, signed by the hotel's famous guests.
