Gar-Anat

Granada


Gleaming, literary-themed boutique style runs through this sharply repurposed 16th-century house (later a pilgrims' hostel), set around a courtyard where a metallic wishing tree awaits. The 15 contemporary-design rooms (some with hot tubs) are inspired by greats in music and literature; there's even one with Alhambra glimpses. Breakfast (€9.50) happens in the 17th-century aljibe (cistern).
