To sleep in this emblematic neighbourhood, we propose you the Oro del Darro, some apartments that are located inside a historic building which has incredible views of the Alhambra and the Generalife. It is a good option for those travellersl interested in architecture. The most remarkable thing is the cleanliness of the place and the incredible location. Rooms are decorated with very elegant motifs and the windows let in the light, which gives luminosity to the rooms.

Palacio de Santa Inés fascinates us because it is a hotel located in 2 old Mudejar buildings. It is a place that has all the charm that it has to have an accommodation in the middle of the Albaicín. Its patio with ornaments of tiles and Renaissance frescoes is the essence of the place. Just looking it gives us the sensation of being able to smell the spices and smells of the deepest streets of the Albaicín. Rooms are correct, without ornaments, but in perfect dialogue with the building to which they belong, with everything you need.
