Hospes Palacio del Bailío

Hospes Palacio del Bailío is located on a site with a long history dating back to Roman times when Córdoba was known as Corduba. The palace foundations and some architectural elements are believed to date from this period, when the building served as a Roman Domus. The palace was built in the 16th century and houses invaluable Roman remains. The complex brings together buildings raised between the 16th and 18th centuries, with Mudéjar elements, and its restoration as a hotel left the Roman remains of the subsoil on view beneath a glass floor.

Roman ruins, carved Moorish doors, Tuscan-inspired frescoes and 16th-century Spanish architecture create a cultural and historical potpourri of heritage, brought into modernity by sculptural lamps and elegant contemporary furniture. The rooms maintain the building's historical nature: each is decorated with original stone elements or period art, while at the same time offering comfortable modern furniture and spacious marble bathrooms. Some rooms feature egg-shaped bathtubs. The accommodations combine old and new, with hand-painted stucco walls and centuries-old frescoes while the furniture is decidedly modern.

Hospes Palacio del Bailío is located in Córdoba's historic heart, just steps from the Mosque-Cathedral, a World Heritage Site. The neighborhood preserves the layout of the Roman and Muslim city, with narrow streets, flower-filled courtyards and porticoed squares. The Alcázar of the Christian Monarchs, the Roman Bridge and the Jewish Quarter complete a setting of extraordinary historical richness where every stone tells centuries of coexistence between cultures.
