Our favourite rooms
Seda Club has changed dramatically from the department store it once was, but you’ll still feel covetousness creeping in for the items in your room, because you’d quite like, say, that velvet cocktail chair, those Alhambra-style floor tiles, the strokeable Egyptian-cotton sheets, the hand-embroidered silk kimonos guests can waft about in… Grand Deluxes and Suites let you sit out in the sunshine and people-watch over the Plaza de la Trinidad and spy the cathedral, from your own private balcony; but, the Deluxe Patios have their own peaceful spot in the hotel’s interior orange-blossom- and jasmine-scented garden courtyard. And, if you’re staying for a while, La Alcoba Real feels like a penthouse apartment, with enough room for some passionate flamenco moves, and opulent green and gold decor.
Poolside
There’s a small Roman bath-inspired plunge pool in the spa, best for restorative bobbing about – especially because guests can have this to themselves (for free) for an hour during their stay (we advise booking in advance).
Spa
Tucked away behind the bar – perhaps fittingly so – is the spa area, which has one treatment room for massages, facials, scrubs, wraps, and algae-enriched 'Thalgo' and anti-ageing therapies, plus a plunge pool and a shower with gentle hydrotherapy jets.
Packing tips
Become a chic chameleon by packing pieces in decadent materials, plus lots of shiny things to match the hotel’s sparkle. But, amid all this flouncery, add a pair of sensible shoes for hitting Granada’s ancient streets and elevated miradors.
Also
The hotel serves a genteel afternoon tea, with dainty sandwiches and savoury puffs, bite-size cakes and sweet pies (and champagne for a touch more frou-frou-ness).
Pet‐friendly
Pups are valued guests here (for €75 a night); each room is pet-friendly, and they’ll get a bowl, silicon mat, bottle of water and treats. See more pet-friendly hotels in Granada.
Children
This draped-in-velvets-and-silks stay feels more grown-up, but suites do have a sofa-bed kids can sleep on and babysitting can be booked on request. An extra bed can be added to the Grand Deluxe room and Suite (for €26).
