How to arrive
UNESCO declared this area a World Heritage Site, so the traffic is restricted. If you come by car it is best to leave it in a car park but we can give you directions if you want to come by car to the hotel to leave the luggage. However you should know that it is very difficult to find a place to park the car permanently around the hotel.
DIRECTIONS TO THE CAR PARK
We have an agreement with two public car parks that have a special rate for our guests (18, 50 Euros/24 hours). You pay the parking in the hotel and we give you some tickets each time you need the car. We can not book you a space because it is public parking.
These car parks are “Parking Plaza Puerta Real” (Acera del casino Street) and “Parking Triunfo” (Avenida de la Constitucion Street, in front of the Jardines del Triunfo). We recommend the first one because it is the nearest parking to the hotel. To go to the Plaza Puerta Real Parking:
- Take the main road in Granada "Circunvalacion" (Road A-44)
- Take exit number 131 (Armilla exit), direction to Congress Palace (Palacio de Congresos) on Armilla’s Road.
- Go straight on Paseo del Violon Street
- Cross the Puente Blanco (White Bridge) and you will be in Acera del Darro Street. You will see to the right a big shopping centre called EL CORTE INGLES. Just beyond you will see the right the parking PLAZA PUERTA REAL. (For further directions you can follow signs to the Carmen Hotel. This Hotel is front of our concerted parking).
Please, pay attention because to the left there is another car park called Parking Puerta Real. This is the wrong parking. Our parking is Plaza Puerta Real. Please, take a taxi from the car park to the hotel. If you ask the cab driver for the bill we will discount this amount from your parking bill. We can only discount one way taxi, from the right car park to the hotel. If this parking is full you can wait until a space is free or call the Hotel and we will give you directions to the other parking.
DIRECTIONS TO THE HOTEL BY CAR
UNESCO declared this area World Heritage Site, so the traffic is restricted. However guests may drive to the hotel, but only through some streets allowed by the Police. Each hotel has a way allowed for their guests and our area allowed is “Hoteles Carrera del Darro – Plaza Nueva – Albaicín”. Once you arrive in the area you must know that the traffic is complicated because they are all very narrow and cobbled streets. The hotel is in one of them but you can not come with the car to the door because we are in a street with stairs. It is very important that you do not go through forbidden streets even if the sign says: “Only access to Hotels” (“Excepto acceso a Hoteles”), because these streets have cameras that will take your license plate and you will receive a fine. We can not do anything if you receive a fine and you have not followed these directions:
- Take the main road in Granada "Circunvalacion" (Road A-44)
- Take the exit number 131 (Armilla exit), direction to Congress Palace on Armilla’s Road.
- Go straight on Paseo del Violon Street
- Cross the Puente Blanco (White Bridge) and you will be in Acera del Darro Street where you will see to the right a big shopping centre called EL CORTE INGLES.
- Go straight along this street to PUERTA REAL ( a square with a big fountain) , then you will see a sign that only allows public transport. You will have to turn to the right on the street “Angel Ganivet” (you will see the Post Office to the right and then the Meliá Hotel to the left).
- At the end of this street you will arrive at a square “Mariana Pineda” where you will see a sign to your left that says: “Hoteles Plaza Nueva – Carrera del Darro”.
- Follow this and continue on the street “San Matías”.
- At the end of this street you will again have to turn to the left following the sign “Hoteles Plaza Nueva – Carrera del Darro” and you will arrive at some traffic lights (you will see to the left the square “Plaza Isabel la Católica” (Statue of the Catholics Kings placed in a fountain)
