L'hotel Casa Capitel és un antic palau renaixentista construït el 1503 i situat a la zona pintoresca d'Albaicín, davant l'Alhambra, al centre de la ciutat i a prop de la catedral.
El palau disposa de llindes i columnes toscanes, capitells corintis i bigues cromades àrabs, sostres de fusta d'estil renaixentista i 2 columnes romanes. Entre tots aquests elements artístics destaca l'exquisit capitell nassarita esculpit en alabastre, una peça única al món.The area surrounding the hotel has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, so traffic is restricted. Guests traveling by car are advised to leave the car in one of the 2 public car parks with which the hotel has agreements entitling guests to a discount on parking.
Both of these car parks offer parking for EUR 18.50 per 24 hours. Guests pay for parking in the hotel and the hotel gives out tickets when you need the car. The hotel cannot reserve car parking spaces as it is a public car park.
The 2 car parks are Parking Plaza Puerta Real on Acera Del Casino, and Parking Triunfo on Avenida de la Constitucion, in front of the Jardines Del Triunfo. Parking Plaza Puerta Real is nearest to the hotel.
