For a splurge-worthy bed, choose a suite with a view of the rose garden or Generalife in the distance.
Rough Guide "Without question the most desirable – and most expensive – place to stay in Granada; a fifteenth-century converted monastery in the Alhambra grounds."

Booking (at least three months ahead) is essential.

"Originally a Nasrid palace built in the late 15th century, the Parador de Granada is now an upscale hotel offering the unique experience of staying inside La Alhambra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site." Full review
Afar Magazine "The Granada Parador is the old monastery of the Alhambra Palace and is located within the complex. While it's a bit of a walk into town, there's no better location." Full review

Tip #2: make sure to stay onsite for a meal (or five) - the Parador Restaurant is exceptional.
