"A hotel that blends contemporary comforts with visible Roman-era remnants, offering thoughtfully decorated rooms with hand-painted stucco and century-old frescoes while highlighting communal amenities such as an outdoor pool, indoor Roman baths, and a spa that emphasize the property’s historic character and relaxation offerings." - Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel Lydia Mansel is a writer with more than eight years of experience editing and writing for both brands and online publications—with a particular focus on travel, fashion, and lifestyle.

"A magnificent example of a Roman villa preserved within a contemporary hotel, where vestiges appear beneath a glass‑floored atrium and underground thermal baths from Roman times now form part of the spa, accessed via the Patio de los Naranjos and the Mudéjar area. Just a 15‑minute walk from the Mezquita de Córdoba, the property elegantly amalgamates eras: rooms and suites with hand‑painted stuccowork, palatial elements, vaulted ceilings, and stone arches are seamlessly integrated into a modern design, with thoughtful details like an outdoor pool ringed by plants and fruit trees making it a true oasis in the historic center; it has also earned certifications for its sustainable practices." - The MICHELIN Guide
"The privileged location makes a more than convenient base from which to explore the white streets at the center of Córdoba. At the Palacio del Bailío, you’re just a fifteen minute walk from the Great Mosque, and at the doorstep of the historic Jewish Quarter. At the hotel itself, an outdoor swimming pool is surrounded by fruit trees and buffeted by indoor Roman baths. In the restaurant, enjoy local dishes within sight of ancient Roman ruins under glass." - The MICHELIN Guide
"While the word “Palacio” may put some of us in mind of an old-fashioned grand hotel, this is a palace of an entirely different kind. More a mansion than a hotel, it’s equal parts hacienda and Moorish manor, with some rooms opening onto ancillary patios, and others in the main building ringing the main courtyard, with its majestic old palms and pleasantly cool outdoor swimming pool." - MICHELIN Guide
"This 5-star hotel occupies a 16th-Century palace in the heart of the ancient city of Córdoba. It has an outdoor pool set in pretty gardens. The elegant rooms of the Hospes Palacio del Bailio fuse past and present. Some include original wall paintings, and all have flat-screen TV and free Wi-Fi. Rich materials such leather and velvet are used throughout the hotel. The bathrooms are particularly luxurious. The Palacio del Bailio offers plenty of space to relax. You can unwind in the flower garden or on the sun terrace surrounded by orange trees. Alternatively, you can enjoy a range of treatments at the hotel's exclusive Bodyna Spa. The hotel's restaurant, Arbequina, offers a mix of Spanish and Asian cuisine. The hotel is located 1 km from Cordoba Mosque-Cathedral, the third largest Mosque in the world and a World Heritage Site." - My Boutique Hotel (en)
