Áurea Catedral Hotel, Granada

Authenticity

The hotel encompasses several historic buildings and homes, including a 16th-century manor house, where the property gets its lovely inner courtyard and fountain. The hotel's facade features preserved Neo-Pompeian paintings, and there's an art gallery and archaeological room with Arab ruins on the ground floor. 

Location

You'll find the hotel across the street from the Catedral de Granada, so it's in the city's core and walkable to numerous sites, including the Albaicín neighborhood, La Alcaicería, and the Alhambra.

Rooms & Bathrooms

Rooms and bathrooms are simple without much character, though spacious and comfortable. Families can book rooms with two double beds, and those wanting a little more space can opt for the junior suites, some with balconies or terraces with Cathedral views.

Amenities

Áurea Catedral has a small, Moorish-influenced wellness area with a sauna, steam room, and lounge chairs. A fitness room in the basement is open from 7 am to 11 pm. Guests can access a rooftop, although it doesn't have any services. Some guest rooms are adapted for travelers with limited mobility. 

Family-Friendliness

Áurea Catedral offers no specific activities or amenities for kids. With elevators to reach upper-floor rooms, the hotel is stroller-friendly. Babysitting services can be arranged for an extra fee.

Other Highlights

Because of the hotel's location, its terrace has unbeatable views of the cathedral and is a great place to relax at sunset. The breakfast buffet is served in a comfortable dining area, though you can also take your meal onto the patio.
