A legend coming from the times of the Arab domination of Spain inspired the name of this most impressive establishment, the Hotel Rumaykiyya, a unique hotel belonging to the Vincci Seleccion Hotel range.

This five-star hotel is located at 2,400 metres in the heart of the Sierra Nevada, one of the most beautiful natural parks in Spain which is crowned by 14 peaks that surpass 3,000 metres, among them Veleta (3,327 metres) and Mulhacen (3,478 metres), next to the route of the Alpujarra Mountains and very near the impressive city of Granada, all of which makes the area a refuge for the traveller.

The Hotel Rumaykiyya Hotel lies at the foot of a ski slope, offering the visitor the possibility of practicing various recreational and athletic activities during the ski season when the hotel fills with athletes who know how to appreciate the special characteristics that make the Hotel Rumaykiyya a privileged enclave for practicing this sport.

This establishment is the highest hotel in Europe with direct access to the Arco de las Pesas and Puerta Fajalauza ski slopes to and from the hotel, which puts a chair lift service at its very door and also has its own shuttle service to Pradollano.

All the rooms have a mini bar, satellite TV, Canal Plus and individual safe and the establishment also has other exclusive services for its clients like valet parking, area Wi-Fi, ski lockers and free press. The Hotel Rumaykiyya is a small oasis in the middle of a landscape of extraordinary beauty, an establishment integrated into its surroundings that nobody who has enjoyed its hospitality can leave without thinking about when they will return.

The hotel is also well-known in the area for the quality of its La Arqueria restaurant, whose chef, Javier Valiño, combines haute cuisine with the most modern variations of Alpujarra Mountain cooking, without a doubt a delicacy for the palate and senses.
