Melia Granada Hotel
Nice hotel in the middle of Granada. Walking distance from major landmarks. I recommend getting the Granada card that gives you access to public transportation and entrance to the Alhambra and some museums.

Comfortable, spacious room. Great location, walking distance from the Arabic quarter, about 10-15 min drive (30-40 min uphill walk) to the Alhambra/Nusrid palace. BTW, be sure to book Alhambra/Nusrid palace tickets months in advance.
