Location
The modern and elegant 4-star Hotel Tent Granada offers not only impeccable services and facilities designed for the maximum comfort of our guests, but also an unbeatable central location next to the Fuentenueva Park and the University of Granada. Historical landmarks such as the Monastery of St Jerome and the Cathedral of Granada are a short walk away from our hotel. And the city’s pride, the Alhambra, is just 20 minutes from the hotel using public transport. Moreover, the hotel is strategically located next to several key transport points. Both the AVE/Renfe and the Granada Metro have stations next to us (“La Caleta” for the Metro). The airport bus line as well as the normal city buses also have stops next to the hotel.
Granada Cathedral
The Granada Cathedral is just 15 minutes’ walk from the Hotel Tent Granada. Located in the heart of the city centre, it is one of the most imposing monuments in the city and a masterpiece of the Spanish Renaissance. This ambitious architectural project started off as a Gothic cathedral with a royal chapel to house the remains of Isabella and Ferdinand, the Catholic Monarchs of Spain. Although its construction was planned for 1506, the sudden death of Queen Isabella meant that the Royal Chapel was then built first in order to bury her. The foundations were laid on the site of the old Great Mosque of Granada. After the death of the main architect, Diego de Siloé took over and changed the entire design to build the majestic Renaissance cathedral we see today.
The Albaicín quarter
The Albaicín quarter is only a 20-minute walk from the hotel. Listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, it was the seed from which bloomed the modern city of Granada and it still preserves the magic of its Arab past, although its streets have also served as home to Iberians, Romans and Visigoths. It reached the height of its splendour during the Nasrid period, when more than thirty mosques were built. The layout of the streets corresponds to that of Islamic urban planning, with labyrinthine narrow streets and dead-end alleys. During the Muslim rule, luxurious villas were built with lush green spaces that served as gardens and orchards, which were traditionally known as ‘Carmen’. Its buildings, its squares and the very structure of its streets allow observant visitors to observe the different cultural and social transformations of the city.
Royal Monastery of St Jerome
The Royal Monastery of St Jerome was the first Christian monastery built after the Reconquest of Granada by the Catholic Monarchs, and is the resting place of the “Gran Capitán”. It is only a 10-minute walk from the hotel. This Renaissance complex includes the Church of St Jerome as well as two cloisters surrounded by the various outbuildings and a chapel. Although it was originally planned to be built in the Gothic style, the final result was a Renaissance monastery with a large church following the traditional Latin cross floor plan on the inside. Much of the work was financed by the widow of El Gran Capitán.
The Elvira Gate
The Elvira Gate (or Arch) is 5 minutes from the hotel. It was the access point to the Alhacaba and the Albaicín from the road to Medina Elvira – hence its name. It is one of the oldest monuments in the city and reflects Granada’s grand Islamic past. Today, the outer arch from the Nasrid period is preserved, flanked by two rammed earth towers, all topped by battlements,
