The AC Granada is a 4 star, newly bulit hotel, set in one of the most beautiful cities in Spain. It offers all the comfort of an AC hotel, along with the convenience of easy acces to the airport and bus, and train stations. This hotel offers all the amenities the modern traveler has come to expect. About 2,200 feet above sea level in the foothills of the snowcapped Sierra Nevada, Granada sprawls over two main hills, the Alhambra and the Albaicfn, and is crossed by two rivers, the Genil and the Darro. This former stronghold of Moorish Spain is full of romance and folklore. Washington Irving (Tales of the Alhambra) used the symbol of this city, the pomegranate (granada), to conjure up a spirit of romance. In fact, the name probably derives from the Moorish word Karnattah. Some historians have suggested that it comes from Garnatha Alyehud, the name of an old Jewish ghetto.
