Authenticity

Hotel Palacete de Alamos preserves its historic charms in a few different ways. Enjoy original elements like exposed brick walls in the rooms and common areas, plus tile flooring, a grand staircase, and an inner courtyard.

Location

The hotel's central location puts you within walking distance of nearly all the city's main sites. You'll be just down the street from Plaza de la Merced, and it won't take more than five minutes on foot to reach the Teatro Romano and the walls of the Alcazaba. You can also easily walk to the Cathedral, Mercado Central, and Castillo de Gibralfaro, plus city shopping and numerous delicious restaurants. 

Rooms & Bathrooms

You can choose between rooms and suites that sleep up to four people, so Hotel Palacete de Alamos might be a good option for traveling with family or in a small group. Rooms are warm and inviting, with some featuring seating areas or Jacuzzi tubs. Some have private balconies or patios and/or hot tubs.

Amenities

The hotel doesn't have many extra amenities, like a rooftop or fitness center. But there's a small, elegant lounge in the atrium area with comfortable sofas and chairs. The lounge offers complimentary tea and coffee free of charge throughout the day. This is a wheelchair-accessible property and offers adapted rooms for travelers with limited mobility.

Family-Friendliness

The hotel isn't overly family-friendly. Children up to age three stay for free in cribs (on request), and older children are charged a reduced rate. 

Other Highlights

The hotel doesn't have a restaurant or a bar, but guests can enjoy a daily breakfast buffet (included in some room rates) served in a quaint dining room with antique furniture.
