The mainly neutral palette is punctuated with pops of aquamarine and turquoise – a nod to the Nasrid art Granada is known for.

This stylish 19th-century gem sits on the Gran Via de Colon(!); hello, easy access to a bounty of tapas bars and biggies like the Catedral de Granada.

Renovated historical palace exudes original charm and modern elegance.

Situated next to the gardens leading into the 11th-century medieval town. (Tune up the lute, anyone?)

Art-laden décor, in a classic red, white and black palette in lively Picasso and Thyssen museum ‘hood.

Terribly well-located spot in the city centre right by the Plaza. Go explore!

Rooms this mellow should be illegal (but we’re really glad they’re not).

Suites foster a cool contemporary vibe with ultra-modern décor and ample space to spare.

Rooftop pool and sundeck. You. There. Now. (Any questions?)

Unique building is fully renovated but keeps its early 19th-century splendour (check out that dizzying spiral staircase).

Beautiful hotel decorated to reflect the work of American writer (and Alhambra enthusiast) Washington Irving.

In the mood for a leisurely lunch? Look no further than the hotel’s own eatery.

A hop, skip and a jump from the María Zambrano AVE railway station, so Madrid and Cordova are just a hop, skip and a train ride away.

Well-placed digs an easy jaunt from the Picasso Museum, Roman amphitheatre and other Malaga must-sees.
