Where to sleep in Sierra Nevada: hotels and apartments in Pradollano

To choose where to sleep in Sierra Nevada, compare the address of the accommodation with the route you will take each morning and when you return. Pradollano is distributed along a slope: proximity on the map, access on foot and connection by transport are things that should be assessed separately, especially with children, luggage or ski equipment.

This guide brings together three hotels, an apartment hotel with a kitchen and criteria for choosing other apartments. First decide if you prefer to walk to the cable cars, have more space or combine the snow with a stay in Granada. Then compare the total price for your dates and the services included.

Low, middle and upper area of Pradollano: how to find your way

These names are a practical guide when looking for accommodation. Locate the building entrance and the lifts on the map published by the station, dated December 2025, and check the specific route to your school, rental or boarding point.

The city bus sheet describes stops between Pradollano, Los Peñones and the University Hostel, with some limited expeditions to the latter. Find the stop that corresponds to your address. For the Parador chairlift, check operation, schedule and access product in the station information.

If you are going to dine out or arrive late, agree to return before booking. The night schedules published by the station and by Autocares Tocina present differences; Confirm with the operator the last departure of your stop for that day. Its published telephone number is 958 465 022 and its email, info@autocarestocina.es.

Three hotels: location and services advertised by each one

The following references link the location and services published by each hotel. Meliá locates its two hotels about 100 meters from the main ski lifts; Kenya posts 100 meters to the Borreguiles cable car. The time you need to travel these distances will depend on the itinerary and luggage.

Both Meliá hotels announce ski storage included in winter stays, with conditions to be consulted. Ask where it is, how to access it and when you can use it on the day of arrival and departure. If you need boot drying, storage or monitored access, confirm that specific service. Staying near a ski lift doesn’t equate to skiing right out your door.

Contact and arrival: Meliá Sierra Nevada publishes 958 480 400 and melia.sierra.nevada@melia.com, with entry from 2:00 p.m. and departure until 12:00 p.m. Meliá Sol y Nieve publishes 958 480 300 and melia.sol.y.nieve@melia.com, with check-in from 3:00 p.m. and check-out until 12:00 p.m. For Kenya, consult 958 480 911 or reservas@kenianevada.com. If you arrive earlier or want to ski on the day of departure, ask about the storage room, the changing rooms and the hours of use; The room may have to be vacated before your return from the slopes.

Children’s services: Meliá Sierra Nevada announces Mini Club for ages 5 to 12 years. Sol y Nieve distinguishes Mini Club from 5 to 10 years old and Teens Club from 10 to 16. Confirm operating dates, hours and registration for your stay; These clubs and ski lessons are different services.

Pool and spa: check access and supplements

• Meliá Sierra Nevada: its YHI Wellness Spa page announces access included during the stay and specific conditions for minors. Ask about the schedule and the area corresponding to the age of your children.
• Meliá Sol y Nieve: the YHI Spa page indicates additional cost for the circuit, with one access per stay included for The Level clients. It distinguishes the children’s space and requires adult accompaniment. Check what your reservation includes.
• Kenya Nevada: its spa page, consulted on October 7, 2026, publishes a 50-minute circuit at €30 for an individual or €45 for a couple, VAT included. Announces hours from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. These are prices for the circuit, not for the room; confirms availability and access conditions.

The pool and circuit spaces may have different conditions. Check swimsuit, hat, flip flops, age allowed and prior reservation when this service is important for your choice.

Trevenque Aparthotel and other apartments

The Apartahotel Trevenque, at Plaza de Andalucía, 6, publishes studios for two people and apartments for four or six, with a kitchenette and microwave. The layout may include a sofa bed or bunk bed: check the beds and bedrooms in the unit you select.

Its website advertises free ski storage, 24-hour reception, daily cleaning except kitchen and direct connection to the −2 floor of the public parking lot. That connection does not mean that parking is included. To consult the unit and dates, the published contact is 958 480 862 and aptrevenque@cetursa.es.

Opening dates: Checking October 6, 2026, the station accommodation page shows Trevenque closed until next season; Its website says goodbye to summer and announces winter. Confirm the available entry date for your trip.

To compare other apartments, request these details of the specific unit:

• Address and access: building, portal, floor, elevator, key collection location and after-hours arrival procedure.
• Distribution: number of bedrooms, fixed beds, sofa bed, bathrooms and capacity allowed for your group.
• Kitchen and stay: equipment, heating, bed linen and towels, cleaning included and departure conditions.
• Material and car: ski storage or authorized place for the equipment; assigned parking space, access height and cost if you need it.
• Reservation: total price, deposit if applicable, supplements, payments and cancellation. An offer for a studio for two is not suitable for budgeting for a family apartment.

Parking: hotel, assigned space or public parking

Start by asking if your reservation includes a space, if you must request it separately and what the garage entrance is. Kenya announces paid parking; Trevenque describes access from a public parking lot. It distinguishes a contracted space, a pedestrian connection and a recommendation to park nearby.

As of October 6, 2026, the official parking page announces free parking until the start of the winter season. For a ski stay, check the rate and conditions corresponding to your dates, duration and arrivals or departures. That pre-winter announcement shouldn’t turn into a budget for free parking all season long.

If you park in an area other than the accommodation, calculate the transfer with your suitcases and the return after dinner. Check where you can unload luggage and the height of the garage if you have a roof box.

How to compare price and decide when to book

Enter the same nights and all travelers, with the ages of the minors, when comparing offers. Review meal plan, unit type, cancellation, parking and additional services. Meliá explains in its sheets that the amount depends on the dates, room and conditions selected; The Pradollano area does not have a single nightly rate.

A useful way to prepare the budget is to add accommodation, meals not included, parking or transfers, ski pass, material and classes. If you choose a package, check how many days and services it covers. For holidays or weekends, check availability as soon as you have dates and evaluate the modification conditions; There is no universal deadline that guarantees the best offer.

If you are traveling with children or need step-free access: check the route from the vehicle or stop to reception, elevator and room. Ask about cribs, beds and specific child services. The existence of a family room or a children’s spa does not solve these needs on its own.

Sleep in Granada or at the station

Pradollano allows you to organize the day from the urbanization. Granada may interest you if you want to combine urban visits and a trip to the snow; Add up the cost and time of the round trip before comparing. Review station access information and Tocina service for your chosen dates.

Complete the plan with the guides for hostels in Granada, how to climb Sierra Nevada and skiing and access to Borreguiles. If you organize several plans in the season, see Sierra Nevada in one day.
