Roman remains visible beneath a glass floor immediately distinguish Hospes Palacio del Bailío, a restored Andalusian palace in Córdoba’s historic centre. Five courtyards organise the property, linking rooms where terracotta floors, carved details and painted ceilings meet calmer contemporary additions. The restaurant opens into one of the shaded patios, and Bodyna Spa brings an indoor pool, hammam and thermal-inspired treatments into the lower levels. Beyond, an outdoor pool sits among citrus trees, stone arches and the layered masonry of the palace gardens.
