Hospes Palacio de Los Patos

What We Think

A 42-room hotel that combines the historic with the ultra-modern could very well have multiple personality disorder—but not this hotel. The Palacio de Los Patos seamlessly combines the best of old and new (seriously; we can think of a few other properties who could use their advice). Ask for a room in the older building with original mosaics and ceiling frescoes for an only-in-Granada experience; Dreamers rooms, in the latticed alabaster newer wing, are more contemporary. You’ll also kick yourself if you miss the caviar tasting (it’s Riofrío caviar, touted as the world’s first guilt-free organic version), served with cava, natch.

What It Is

Granada's top luxury stay, in an updated 19th-century villa.

What It Isn't

Moorish to the core. This is today’s Andalusia, and it’s never been more fetching.

You're Here Because

It’s one of few—if not the only—hotels in Granada with a thermal pool, Turkish bath and dry sauna.

The Moment

After a night of bar-hopping, you’re delighted to find the restaurant offers 24-hour room service—because there’s nothing like tapas delivered to your bathrobed self at 2 a.m.
