Setting

Cathedral close quarters

Gran Hotel Claridge Granada’s name gives away a lot: this luxe boutique hotel flexes opulent interiors and a prime centro locale that brings the cathedral up close. You’ll spot its storied form from some suites and the rooftop terrace, where additional views of La Alhambra make for quite the pairing. You might be able to see many of Andalucia’s notable spots without leaving, but if you can pry yourself from the tiled spa and refined restaurants, you’ll find that this city lives up to its reputation just the same.

Our favourite rooms

Gran Hotel Claridge Granada brushes shoulders with many of the city’s big hitters, and you can get up close and personal with its Renaissance neighbour in a Premium Cathedral Views room. Lofty ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows are a staple in every category; but for extra flair, opt for the Grand Claridge Cathedral Suite, a sprawling space with a library, record player, ornate tilework and duo of bedrooms.

Poolside

Alfresco dips in the heated, rooftop pool are made all the more scenic by crowning views of Granada Cathedral. Its striped, monochrome tiling puts a modern spin on the city’s Moorish heritage, and drying off under a fringed parasol and plump sunloungers has never looked so glam.

Spa

The Wellness Boutique Spa is an intimate space for self-care. Let yourself be hypnotised by the black-and-white stripes adorning the indoor pool — the hydrotherapy circuit is extra entrancing — or be buffed and pampered by bespoke treatments, restorative massages and rejuvenating facials.

Packing tips

There’s no need to pack your camera’s zoom lens: the cathedral is almost within touching distance, and you’ll also easily spy La Alhambra from the solarium terrace.

Children

Food and Drink

Top Table

On the terrace facing the Granada Cathedral, naturally.

Dress Code

Make like an elegant Spanish señora and favour bold textiles, silky fabrics and considered gold accessories.

Hotel restaurant

At roof-set Zima Luz & Top, dining comes with a generous side of cathedral, La Alhambra and Sierra Nevada views — distracting, huh. But the polished Mediterranean menus, which weave in Andalucian flavours, are just as worthy of your attention. Contemporary, regional cooking comes courtesy of chef Rafael Arroyo at Inizio, with an equally scene-stealing setting alongside the hotel’s preserved archaeological remains. 

Hotel bar

The Gran Lobby bar is a cosy, convivial space to settle in after a day roaming Granada’s cobblestone streets. Hole up by the fireplace, nab a novel off the bookshelf and sip a garden-inspired cocktail alongside a selection of snacks — there are worse ways to recharge. 

Last orders

Zima serves breakfast from 7.30am to 11am; then an all-day menu is served from 1.30pm to 11pm. At Inizio, lunch is served from 1.30pm to 4.30pm, with dinner between 8.30pm and 11.30pm.

Room service

A dedicated menu of dishes can be delivered to your door around the clock.

Worth getting out of bed for

City breaks are typically associated with high step counts, but at Gran Hotel Claridge Granada, you can tick off a few sights without leaving the hotel (or in some cases, bed). The gleaming-in-gold Granada Cathedral is a stone’s throw away and the screensaver to the rooftop terrace and several suites; from the solarium terrace, you can also admire aah-worthy La Alhambra — both are deserving of closer looks, too. A clutch of rooms face San Agustín Market, a buzzy spot for tapas to go and quick lunches. And if you feel like venturing further afield, staff can arrange cycling tours, guided hikes and ski excursions in the Sierra Nevada, depending on the season. Day trips to Andalucia’s other storied cities, Seville and Córdoba, are appealing at any point in the year. 

Local restaurants

Faralá Restaurante’s melodic name might make you feel like breaking into song, and its Andalucian fine-dining dishes are deserving of praise-singing, thanks to Arabic influences and bold-with-colour bites. With only four tables, degustación dinners at fine Restaurante Cala are set to be special, plus local ingredients are given a refined, modern makeover alongside wine pairings. The region's Moorish heritage is celebrated at Albidaya Restaurante, with fusion dishes, tasting menus and friendly service.

Local cafés

Grab a cortado and traditional cake from Pastelería López-Mezquita to fuel your morning in Granada, or linger over a healthy, wholesome brunch at Fika.

Local bars

Old-school wine bar Bodegas La Mancha maintains its Andalucian atmosphere with legs of jamón lining the walls, as well as wooden barrels and regional vintages. Tapas, vermút and cañas are your Spanish aperitivo staples at laidback Tocateja, a mod-rustic watering hole with stained glass and bottle-lined interiors.

Anonymous review

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this cathedral-facing hotel in Andalucia and unpacked their orange-infused soaps and bottles of sherry, a full account of their cultural city break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Gran Hotel Claridge Granada… 

Granada’s claim to literary fame may be Federico García Lorca, but it was poet Antonio Machado who said ‘every city has its own charm, but Granada has its own and that of the rest’. High praise from a Sevillano

It's easy to see why he fell fast for this city’s delights — orange-tree-scented streets, lively tapas bars and third-place plazas have that effect. But its latest addition, Gran Hotel Claridge Granada, is what has us enchanted. The cathedral, Gran Vía and San Agustín Market are your well-heeled neighbours, with La Alhambra photo-bombing poolside selfies up on the rooftop terrace.  

The spa’s siren call comes from its bespoke treatments, indoor swimming pool and monochrome tilework, and a choice of two Andalucian restaurants keeps you equally enamoured. After days at large in Granada, your lofty, view-toting bedroom is just the place to lift your feet — and perhaps put pen to paper like the region’s starry writers.
