Palacio de los Salcedo
Historic palace-hotel with restrained elegance. Period stonework and carved wood paired with modern bed linens and updated bathrooms. Quiet pedestrian-street location. Feels like sleeping inside a minor Spanish noble's home — in the best possible way.
Request an exterior-facing room if you want natural daylight — inner courtyard rooms can feel darker
Why It Matters
One of the most architecturally significant hotels in Andalusia's less-visited but deeply impressive Renaissance town. Featured in the 2025 Michelin Guide Hotels selection. The three-gallery central courtyard — where breakfast is served — is genuinely extraordinary. Ranked #2 of 7 hotels in Baeza on TripAdvisor with 320+ reviews.
A 16th-century Gothic-style palace — originally the residence of the Counts of Garciez — converted into a 30-room boutique hotel sitting on Calle San Pablo in the dead centre of Baeza's UNESCO World Heritage old town. The exterior is severe Andalusian stone. Step inside and the coffered entrance ceilings, restored beamed rooms, and a grand three-gallery central courtyard do all the talking. Cetina Hotels took over and rebranded from the original 'Palacio de los Salcedo' name in early 2023, adding modern comforts while keeping the period furniture and historic bones intact.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Deluxe Room
An upgraded room category with enhanced furnishings and finishes. Egyptian cotton sheets, 40-inch plasma TV, minibar, safe, and a private bathroom with deep soaking bathtub and designer toiletries. Some guests specifically mention the whirlpool tubs in certain deluxe rooms as a highlight.
Exterior Standard Room
Standard room with exterior-facing windows looking out over the historic streets of Baeza rather than the inner courtyard. Same amenities as the Standard but with more natural daylight. A worthwhile upgrade for those who want to wake up to the old town.
Single Room
Single occupancy room with all standard amenities. Features a private bathroom with bath, bidet, and hairdryer. Flat-screen TV, minibar, coffee machine, and wardrobe. Inner courtyard view. Air conditioned.
Standard Room
Entry-level room facing the inner courtyard. Air-conditioned with flat-screen TV, minibar, coffee machine, writing desk, and private bathroom with bath or shower, bidet, and designer toiletries. Wardrobe and blackout curtains. Some guests note these rooms can be quieter than exterior-facing ones but get less natural light.
Suite
The top accommodation category in the hotel. Larger space with living area and the most refined furnishings in the palace. Full suite amenities including spa bathtub, Egyptian cotton sheets, premium toiletries, and likely the best courtyard or balcony outlook in the building.
Superior Room
Above the Deluxe tier. Larger footprint with premium amenities and more considered décor. Some Superior rooms come with a private balcony overlooking the historic streets or the courtyard. Period furniture, Egyptian cotton sheets, spa bathtub, and the full standard complement of tech.
