Hospes Palacio de los Patos

Granada, Spain

In a striking marriage between old and new, the Hospes Palacio de los Patos yokes a 19th-century palace to an uncompromising modern design scheme. Relying heavily on minimalist materials such as stone, glass and metal, the palace’s alabaster-white interiors are sleek spaces filled with light. The boutique hotel’s twin buildings are well positioned for exploring the ancient Moorish-Spanish city of Granada, and you’ll be glad of the rejuvenating welcome at the Palacio’s Bodyna spa after hot-heeling it around the city’s winding streets all day.
