AC Palacio de Santa Paula

The modern frontage of this super-central five-star gives no hint of what lies behind. A cobbled cloister (where you can sip a Granada vino) forms the elegant centrepiece of what was once a 16th-century convent but is now a luxe, glossy hotel with subtly stylish rooms, a contemporary-Andalucian restaurant, a gym, a sauna and a Turkish bath.
