Hotel Alhambra Palace in Granada, open May – August.
A Moorish-revival hotel built in 1910 by the Duke of San Pedro de Galatino on the Alhambra hill, the only hotel inside the monument’s walls and the one with the view every Granada wedding is trying to buy.
The terrace looks straight over the Albaicín, the cathedral and the vega, with the Sierra Nevada behind, and it is where the drinks happen.
Ceremonies go on the terrace or in the theatre, dinner in the banqueting rooms downstairs, and the Salón Reyes Católicos takes 124 in 126 square metres, with about 480 square metres of event space in total across the hotel.
Guests sleep in the same building and walk to the Alhambra ticket gate in five minutes, which no other Granada venue can offer.

Asked along the way.
How many guests can the Alhambra Palace host?+
The Salón Reyes Católicos is listed at 126 square metres and up to 124 banquet guests, and the hotel publishes roughly 480 square metres of event space in total, so larger weddings run across several rooms plus the terrace.
Can we get married on the terrace?+
Yes. The panoramic terrace is the reason most couples choose the hotel, and it takes ceremonies and drinks with the whole city below. Dinner normally moves inside to the banqueting rooms, which are larger and out of the wind.
Can we get married at the Alhambra itself?+
Not as part of a hotel booking. The Alhambra is a monument with its own access rules and does not host private weddings, so couples marry at the hotel, at the Parador inside the grounds or at a city venue, and visit the palaces as guests.
How do guests reach the hotel?+
Granada Federico García Lorca (GRX) is about 25 minutes away with limited routes; Málaga (AGP) is around 1 hour 40 minutes and has far more flights. The Alhambra hill has restricted vehicle access, so coaches and taxis need to be arranged ahead.
What does a wedding here cost?+
The hotel quotes by proposal at reservas@hotelalhambrapalace.com and publishes no tariff. Granada is materially cheaper than Marbella or Mallorca, and the per-head figures below reflect that, but they are our estimate rather than a quote.
