Hostal Costa Azul is set in Granada’s historic center, 5 minutes' walk from the Cathedral and within the Realejo-San Matias district. The Alhambra can be reached in 15 minutes by foot. Housed in a 19th-century building, Hostal Costa Azul is located just 164 feet from Plaza del Carmen and the City Hall. Characteristic of the region, it is built around a courtyard with a central fountain surrounded by flowers, a wisteria plant and original ‘azulejo’ tiles – ideal for escaping the summer heat. From this small, family-run hotel you can easily walk to Plaza Nueva and the charming, whitewashed Albaicín district, or climb the wooded hillside to the imposing Alhambra Palace. In the other direction you will soon find the Cathedral and chic shopping streets of the city center.
