Welcome Reception in Hospital Real
The Hospital Real was one of the first buildings embarked upon by the Catholic Monarchs after the conquest of Granada. It was begun in 1511 and is one of three such public hospitals set up in early Renaissance Spain to cater for the poor and needy.

It was a hospital from 1526 until 1982, when it was acquired by the University of Granada to be its rectorate and seat of government.

The Alhambra Palace Hotel was built at the beginning of the XX century by the Duke of San Pedro de Galatino during an upsurge of interest in Europe in all things Arabic. It was inaugurated in 1910 by King Alfonso XIII.

The building resembles an Andalucian palace, with a terracota facade and white balconies on the upper floors. The building is topped off in traditional Andalusian style with a colourful tiled dome. It is one of Granada's most elegant hotels and most well-known landmarks.
