Gracious

adjective/Grey-shus/

Kind, polite and generous, especially towards other people.

The gracious host welcomed the visiting students with a warm smile and a cool drink.

Gracious hides 'grace' — a graceful, kind way of treating others.

Use it for warm, polite behaviour, often when someone is generous even in defeat.
