Hotel Palacio de Los Navas

Granada


A glassed-in atrium, terracotta-tiled floors and smooth cream styling set the tone at this gorgeously revamped 16th-century building, strung around a classic columned patio just off a busy tapas street. The 19 rooms have wrought-iron bedheads and an instantly soothing feel; those on the top floor are attic-style with sloping wood-beamed ceilings. Staff are charmingly helpful and there's complimentary merienda.
