Hospes Palacio del Bailío 

Historical building in the heart of Córdoba

With its chic design, scented gardens and atmospheric spa, this luxe hotel is a grown-up retreat in the heart of the city.

Part listed monument, part art installation, Hospes Palacio del Bailío is a cultural attraction in its own right in a place not short on them. This graceful manor house, built between the 16th and 18th centuries on the site of a Roman villa, has been updated with real flair, the sort that teams ancient stonework, futuristic designer light shades and reimagined al-Andalus-style horseshoe arches and pulls it off. Once through the discreet entrance - an elegant carriage gateway into a paved courtyard - it won’t be long before the serene atmosphere created by everything from the soft light of the marble-floored corridors to the rustle of greenery from the garden has you under its spell. The thought that has gone into every element means that picking a highlight will be down to personal taste.

Why we love Hospes Palacio del Bailío

  • Gazing at Roman ruins below the restaurant’s glass floor while sipping the first coffee of the day.

  • We love the creative fusion of food created by Chef Rubén González.

  • The glorious garden is filled with citrus and avocado trees, sturdy palms and the scent of jasmine and has a pretty outdoor swimming pool in a sheltered corner of it.

  • The Bodyna Spa, with its subterranean thermal suite of Roman baths and a menu of rituals and treatments designed to leave you floating on air.
