The house
BarcelóRestored bank headquarters
The 1905 bank headquarters now operates as an intimate hotel, with breakfasts under the courtyard skylight and evening drinks overlooking the cathedral.
What it’s good at
Notable
A 1905 bank headquarters preserving English steel vaults and original wooden teller kiosks.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Granada Cathedral stands directly across the avenue, and the labyrinthine lanes of the Albaicín begin just around the corner.

The rooms
Rooms have parquet floors and historic plaster moldings. Suites preserve ornate coffered ceilings and enclosed stained-glass galleries.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated pool sits under historic brick vaulting in the former bank cellar, fed by a curved fountain jet.
The spa and gym
The 24-hour gym shares the vaulted basement with a Turkish bath, a hammam, and a cabin for Andalusian rituals.
At the table
El Patio serves regional Andalusian cuisine around an original marble fountain. Upstairs, Miralba mixes cocktails facing the Sierra Nevada peaks.
How it began
The founding family lived on the upper floors in 1905, making a home directly above their counting rooms and basement vaults.
