Authenticity

Set in a 19th-century palace, the hotel renovated the building while preserving its heritage, with a neoclassical interior and an exterior featuring gardens and fountains in its traditional inner courtyard.

Location

Set slightly out of the tourist area, Villa Oniria is just two blocks from one of the city's hidden gems: the leafy, tree-lined Plaza Bibataubin, established in the 1930s. You can also easily walk to other sites often missed by travelers, including the Fuente de las Granadas and Puente Romano. You'll still be within walking distance of highlights like the Catedral de Granada, Albaicín, and Alhambra.

Rooms & Bathrooms

Rooms are warm and comfortable, though they have fairly standard furnishings. If you'd like a bit more space and elevated decor, opt for a suite or penthouse room, which both have seating areas and a private outdoor terrace.

Other Highlights

Villa Oniria offers quite a few highlights, including the gourmet Onírico Restaurant with a tasting menu and extensive wine list. Though you can certainly eat in the elegant dining room, the restaurant also offers outdoor seating in the inner courtyard, complete with gardens and fountains. You can also relax in the spa or one of the hotel's lounges, such as its fireside lounge.
