Hotel Restaurante Boabdil in Otura, 15 minutes from central Granada, hosts weddings and other large celebrations in two marquees, private halls and a landscaped garden, for up to 500 guests. A hotel with rooms for guests sits on the same site, so a couple or a group can celebrate and stay in one place.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the main event the venue sells. The couple chooses the setting and the decoration, and the venue says it adapts each detail. Civil ceremonies can take place on site, in the garden or the marquees, with an officiant provided.
The wedding services listed on its site include a welcome drink, an open bar, a DJ, a wedding planner, a seating plan and printed menus, a candy bar, a wedding cake, table centerpieces and children's entertainment. Communions and baptisms are also hosted, which tells you the team is used to family groups of mixed ages.
Rooms and capacities
The site lists two marquees, a garden and private halls. Carpa Al-Aysar is designed around Nasrid-inspired decoration and holds 500 people. It has its own garden area with views of the Sierra Nevada. Carpa Dar-Aixa, styled after an Arab tent, holds 250 people and can be adapted for a smaller group.
The private halls are described as holding up to 500 people, but the site gives no further detail on them. The garden surrounds all the halls and marquees, so a ceremony, a drink and a banquet can move across the grounds without leaving the estate.
Accommodation
The hotel is rated three stars. It has single, double and matrimonial rooms, equipped with heating, air conditioning, free wifi, a telephone and a full bathroom, and the site says all rooms are suitable for guests with reduced mobility. The hotel also has a restaurant, a bar, a 24-hour reception, a garden and a terrace, a lift, safes and luggage storage. The site gives the room count as 29 on one page and 36 on another, so confirm it when you plan a guest list.
Catering
The venue is a hotel and restaurant, with its own kitchen and service team of waiters and cooks. The site mentions wedding extras such as appetizers, a churro stand and a late-night party format, which suggests the catering is handled on site. Menus and tasting options are given on request.
History and setting
The halls and marquees are decorated with references to Granada's Moorish past, and the garden has fountains and a small lake, with the Sierra Nevada in view.
Getting there
The address is Carretera Bailen-Motril, s/n, in Otura. The site puts the hotel 15 minutes from the center of Granada, the Alhambra and the Sierra Nevada, with easy access from the motorway. There is a large car park, including a zone for heavy vehicles and an electric car charging point.
