SHINE ALBAYZIN

Occupying a 16th-century palace in the centre of Granada, this hotel treats its guests to beautiful views over the Alhambra and the Darro river. It is within a 10-minute stroll from some of the most important landmarks of the city - such as the Cathedral, Albaicin, the Royal Chapel and Sacromonte. Those looking for some quaint shops will be a short stroll from Elvira Street and plaza Nueva Square. Arranged around a typical Granadan patio, the stylish rooms of the property provide all the comforts a modern traveller is used to. The patio itself has been turned into an attractive lounge, where one can relax with some free tea and cakes in the afternoon. Staff at reception can help with arranging guided tours of the Alhambra, booking tickets for Flamenco shows and Turkish baths, and a range of other activities.
