Several five-stars sit within walking distance of the Alhambra. Aurea Washington Irving By Eurostars Hotel Company is right beside the monument, and Alhambra Palace Hotel offers direct views. Barcelo Granada Congress is within 2 km. Eurostars Gran Via and Palacio Gran Via are slightly further but still have rooftop bars with Alhambra views.

Palacio Gran Via, A Royal Hideaway Hotel is a five-star palace hotel with a rooftop bar and hammam, steps from the cathedral. Eurostars Gran Via is a two-minute walk away. Hotel Palacio De Santa Paula sits near the Royal Chapel, also central and historic.
Central five-star options include Seda Club Hotel, Bubaqia House – Suites Boutique, and Apartamentos Granada Deluxe 3000, all within easy reach of the Albaicín and tapas bars. Parking is available at several, including Gran Hotel Claridge and Apartamentos Granada Deluxe.

Yes, several offer on-site parking. Gran Hotel Claridge explicitly includes parking, and Apartamentos Granada Deluxe 3000 provides parking with its central suites. Others, like Hospes Palacio De Los Patos, may have nearby options, but it's best to confirm directly.
Barcelo Granada Congress starts at around €80 per night, making it the most budget-friendly five-star option. It still includes a rooftop pool and spa, located within 2 km of the Alhambra.
The Alhambra Palace Hotel is the classic choice with a terrace directly overlooking the Alhambra. Eurostars Gran Via also has a rooftop bar with views, and Aurea Washington Irving is situated beside the monument itself.

In Granada, five-star status doesn't mean one look. It spans converted 16th-century palaces beside the Royal Chapel, restored 19th-century mansions near the cathedral, and modern high-rises with rooftop pools facing the Alhambra. Many cluster in the historic centre — calles like Gran Vía de Colón and the Realejo – so landmark-hopping on foot is the norm, and the Alhambra itself sits an easy walk or short taxi from most of them.
What the category costs varies widely. At the budget end you'll find central options from €80, while the top addresses run to €419 near the Alhambra. In between, several boutique and palace conversions hover around €175–€271, offering spa access, rooftop bars, and that distinctly Andalusian mix of Moorish detail and modern comfort. Note: along with the hotels, this page includes one guest house and one aparthotel that also carry five-star ratings.
