Scene
A 16th century palace with 21st century amenities
The Hospes Palacio del Bailio is an elegant, timeless hotel that mixes elements of different eras seamlessly. The hallways and common areas are furnished with plush velvet chaises and sofas, set against a backdrop of keyhole-shaped windows and doors, elaborate painted ceilings, and ornate woodwork. The breakfast buffet is laid out in a skylit atrium with centuries’ old wall paintings. The atmosphere is romantic and elegant throughout, from the outdoor pool in a lush garden to the spa and Roman baths. Though kids are welcome, the vibe may be too quiet and grown-up for little ones.
Location
In the narrow streets of central Cordoba, within walking distance to all major sights
The Hospes Palacio del Bailio is located in the center of Cordoba, on a narrow street that may be difficult to find without help from the locals. Near Tendillas Plaza, the Marques de Viana Palace, and the Plaza de la Corredera, it's a 15-minute walk to the Mosque and other major historic tourist attractions. There is no commercial activity in the immediate area; but there are shops, restaurants, and bars within a seven minute walk. Tourists will find the location convenient to everything, and a historic site in its own right.
Rooms
Unique and luxurious rooms, with wine-filled minibars, soaking tubs, and authentic historic touches
Each room at the Hospes Palacio del Bailio is spacious and airy, with hardwood floors, stunning arched windows with wooden shutters, and, in some, original stone walls. The bronze and copper accents and artwork feel just right in this former palace, as does the minibar overflowing with wine and cava. Beautiful marble bathrooms have soaking tubs, separate walk-in showers, and cool square granite sinks. The Don Quijote Suite is oval-shaped, with frescos, elaborate moldings, and a spectacular bathroom, and the Grand Suite feels like a breezy loft, with a long wall of windows, and a freestanding tub that is a work of art.
Features
Spectacular buffet breakfast, Roman baths, full-service spa, indoor and outdoor pools
The Hospes Palacio del Bailio offers a buffet breakfast (with eggs cooked to order) served in a beautiful atrium with architectural features dating from the 16th century. Arbequina restaurant serves gourmet Spanish and Moorish cuisine (and tapas) under a beautiful beamed ceiling, in a glamorously cozy dining room. Under the glass floor is an original Roman mosaic. Special evenings feature a famed flamenco guitarist and special tasting menu. The courtyard pool is surrounded by a variety of fancy sun beds. Tables at the pool bar feel chic and private, tucked among the lovely garden pathways. The Bodyna Spa offers a full menu of treatments, as well as a health club and romantic, candlelit Roman bath area. There is an indoor pool with swim up bar. The ruins of a first century Roman house are preserved and incorporated into the hotel.
