Hotel Monjas del Carmen

The 3-star Hotel Monjas del Carmen promises modern comfort and convenience right in the heart of Granada. Located just 2km from the main station, and resting at the bottom a hill that leads to the Alhambra, this stylish hotel affords quick and easy access to the many attractions. The Alhambra offers guests the chance to see a 14th-century palace and fortress that displays truly beautiful examples of Islamic art and architecture. Among a number of fascinating neighbourhoods is Sacromonte, where homes are cut into the rock of whitewashed caves. The hotel occupies a new-build that nonetheless reflects some of the historical character of the surrounding area, its name referring to a nearby convent founded in the 16th-century. Its interior is simple and elegant, employing soft, neutral colours and a great attention to detail, such as shiny globes glittering atop the balustrades. In addition to friendly and helpful staff, the hotel provides free Wi-Fi throughout the premises. It also has a lovely sun terrace where guests can enjoy views of the Barrio del Albayzin and the Cathedral. The restaurant offers diners an a-la-carte menu consisting of delicious Mediterranean dishes. The Standard guestrooms are spacious and cosy, benefiting from wooden flooring and furnishings. Each room is soundproofed. Notable amenities include satellite TV, a mini-bar and an en suite bathroom. Parking is possible onsite (chargeable).
