Description:
A hotel with 14 rooms has been projected in a Moorish House from the late 15th century in the Albayzfn district of Granada. The building with three heights and a patio with a Moorish inn, has bays on three sides and galleries on all four, on pilasters and columns. The oldest bay preserves: plaster arches, Moorish tile panels, alfarjes and a polychrome armor with epigraphic decoration on its arrocabe. The corridors of the facade and staircase were renovated in the 17th century. The brickwork vaulted basement has been reclaimed as a dining room.
