Palacio Del Bailio
Historic palace with crisp contemporary interiors. Dark walnut, stone arches, and cool surfaces offset by warm textiles and a soft neutral palette. Quiet, self-contained oasis feel. Big-city boutique sensibility transplanted into an Andalusian old-town setting.
Book a Junior Suite Historic if you want the rooms with original frescoes — they're worth the premium over a standard Deluxe.
Why It Matters
One of very few hotels in Spain built directly over an intact 1st-century Roman villa — fully visible through the restaurant floor. The underground Bodyna Spa occupies actual Roman thermal baths flanked by original columns. Named in the 2025 Michelin Guide selection and a member of Design Hotels™ affiliated with Marriott Bonvoy. The palace itself is a declared cultural asset.
A 16th-to-18th-century Andalusian estate built around a mosaic of five interconnected patios in Córdoba's historic center. More mansion than hotel — equal parts hacienda and Moorish manor — with 53 rooms spread across several buildings. The main courtyard's glass floor reveals Roman ruins sitting 4.5 meters below ground. Interiors by designers Bárbara Chapartegui and Tristán Domecq lean dark and serene: walnut wood, stone arches, cool polished marble — letting the centuries of history do the heavy lifting.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
Deluxe
From EUR198 / nightWhere the palace's architectural personality really starts to show. Vaulted ceilings or original stone arches in many units, now set against the warm contemporary redesign. Slightly larger than the Dreamer's rooms and sleeps up to three.
King or Twin (choice) · 25 sqm
Deluxe Garden View
From EUR222 / nightAll in the central building, all looking out over the Patio de los Naranjos — the orange tree courtyard. Sizes vary considerably (25–45 m²) so it's worth asking which specific unit you're getting. Each one is slightly different architecturally, which is part of the charm.
King or Twin (choice) · 35 sqm
Dreamer's
From EUR148 / nightEntry-level room with the full Hospes design treatment — clean lines in natural wood, soft-toned textile panels, and a warm palette. Fits two. Choose king, queen, or twin configuration. Egyptian cotton sheets and pillow menu included. Turndown service nightly.
King, Queen, or Twin (choice) · 22 sqmDreamer's Palace
From EUR163 / nightSame footprint as the base Dreamer's but located in the central palace building — meaning you get the full architectural gravitas of the 16th-century structure around you. Same contemporary redesign by Chapartegui and Domecq, same size. The upgrade is the address within the building.
King, Queen, or Twin (choice) · 22 sqmJunior Suite
From EUR310 / nightThe most spacious category before you hit the special historic rooms. Separate bedroom, reading corner, and a generous bathroom with both bathtub and shower. Plenty of natural light. Up to four guests — a solid choice for families who want serious space.
King or Twin (choice) · 60 sqm
Junior Suite Historic
From EUR399 / nightThese are the rooms with soul. Original historic frescoes, palatial ornaments, and authentic period detailing throughout — all coexisting with the contemporary redesign. The most characterful rooms in the building, and the closest you'll get to sleeping inside the actual palace's history. Bathtub and shower. 40–50 m².
King or Twin (choice) · 45 sqmPresidential Great Captain
From EUR605 / nightThe flagship room. At 52 m², it's not the biggest suite you'll ever encounter, but what it delivers is the full palace experience: original historic frescoes, a separate dressing room, separate living and sleeping areas, a desk, and butler service. Complimentary minibar and parking included. Bathtub and shower.
King or Twin (choice) · 52 sqmSingle Dreamer's
From EUR148 / nightThe smallest room in the house — compact at 15 m² and designed for solo travelers. Same design philosophy as the Dreamer's range: natural wood, warm palette, and Egyptian cotton. Double bed (160 cm).

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
Golf course access less than 6 miles from the hotel.
The hotel's location in the historic quarter puts the Mezquita-Catedral (15-min walk), the Jewish Quarter, the Calleja de las Flores, and the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos all within easy reach on foot.
A cool outdoor pool set in the courtyard garden under the shade of citrus trees and palms. The antidote to Córdoba's brutal summer heat. Seasonal (typically April–October).
A guided interpretation visit to the Roman domus beneath the hotel — the remains of an impressive 1st-century AD Roman villa, preserved 4.5 meters below the main patio. Viewed through the glass floor in the restaurant courtyard area. The property also offers artistic illumination of the Roman house and palace.
