Hotel Hospes Palacio de Los Patos, Granada

Authenticity

Hospes Palacio de los Patos is a restored 19th-century palace with many rooms offering original elements, like preserved frescoes and crown molding, mosaic flooring, wood-beamed ceilings, and fireplaces. 

Location

Though still centrally located, the hotel is about 10 minutes from the middle of Granada's historic core and the Cathedral de Granada. Plan for more walking if you'd like to take a stroll along the Darro River, explore the Albaicín, or visit the Alhambra. As a trade-off, you'll be a bit closer to Granada's hidden gems, like the ​​​​Federico García Lorca Park, Puente Romano, and Cuarto Real de Santo Domingo.

Rooms & Bathrooms

The rooms offer quite a bit of variety, from standard units with modern furnishings to grand suites with historic decor. Some feature floor-to-ceiling windows, antique furniture, and preserved elements, such as tile mosaics and ceiling frescoes. Though all are comfy, some seem to lack that luxury factor that you might expect when booking a five-star hotel.

Other Highlights

Palacio de los Patos features a fine-dining restaurant that uses what's known as avant-garde culinary techniques to match the palace's history and decor. Enjoy eating outside on the restaurant's patio, connecting to the hotel's garden wrapping around the property. You can also relax at the spa, which offers a water circuit and treatments like facials and massages.
