This striking 19th century palace manages to perfectly marry old and new Spain within its cool and calm alabaster walls. Inside the design is distinctly modern with light-filled spaces and natural materials – stone, glass, metal – creating a surprisingly warm environment. Set in two buildings (the older building features gorgeous period features) you’ll find 42 rooms with special touches, like Doric columns, domed ceilings and pretty views.
There’s a small pool that’s for posing rather than swimming, with comfortable white loungers for relaxing under the Andalucían sun. Los Patos restaurant serves international dishes with flavours of Granada and it also serves impressive cocktails. Bodyna Spa has a Jacuzzi, sauna and vapour bath, plus massages and treatments.
