Casa Palacio Pilar del Toro

Tucked in Granada's old town beside the medieval Albaycín, this boutique hotel is a short stroll from the Arabic baths and about a 10-minute walk to the Alhambra. Steps from Plaza Nueva and Casa del Arte Flamenco, it puts the city center on your doorstep and the airport within easy reach.

Housed in a restored 17th-century manor, original wooden ceilings, columns and glass-covered corridors give the place a historic edge. Rooms are individually styled and air-conditioned, with fridges, private bathrooms (bathtub or shower), desks and daily housekeeping. An indoor patio planted with greenery and a trickling water feature invites slow mornings and coffee pauses.

Sip a drink at the bar/lounge or linger in the café, relax on the terrace with city views, and unwind in the leafy indoor patio. The hotel offers concierge and tour desk services, luggage storage, laundry and a parking zone, plus small-service perks like a safe-deposit box and a daily complimentary reception.

Complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the property keeps you connected. There are meeting rooms, a banquet hall and wedding services for small events, alongside multilingual staff and luggage storage.

Rest. Pilar del Toro serves international dishes and hosts drinks at the bar/lounge, while a café provides coffee and light bites. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are available on site, with continental breakfast served in the morning and limited room service hours.
