Hotel information
Discover this oasis in the historical centre of the Andalusian city of Córdoba, the perfect alternative retreat for a luxury city break in Spain.
Focussed on gastronomy and wellness, the hotel is set in a former manor house with vestiges of an impressive Roman villa from the first century A.D. under its restaurant.
The highlight is certainly the indoor Roman baths and outdoor swimming pool, the latter being set in a sanctuary of fruit trees and aromatic plants.
Inside, the décor is a stunning medley of Roman artefacts, Moorish influences and contemporary touches, creating dreamy accommodation and public areas that have a feeling of space and serenity in the middle of the city. Rooms and suites are spacious, and even at entry level have luxuries including a capsule coffee maker, rain shower and pillow menu.
Stroll straight from the foyer through the Jewish Quarter and be rewarded with sights including the Synagogue of Cordoba, unique in Andalusia and the third best preserved of medieval times in Spain.
Dining is a treat, enjoyed in two different spaces: the more formal dining of the signature restaurant with its Cordoban specialties, and the informal tapas fare and bar menu offered on the terrace. Underneath the former you can view impressive Roman villa remains, while the latter is immersed in lemon and limes trees and bougainvillea.
Room Options
The hotel has 53 accommodations giving it a boutique feel, with interconnecting rooms available and options for single travellers. All rooms and suites benefit from: USB charging points, a desk, television, air con, a safe, complimentary WiFi, a capsule coffee maker, pillow menu, rain shower, hairdryer, bathrobe and slippers, and the option to have breakfast in bed.

Arbequina Restaurant
Discover the dishes of Córdoba at this unique proposition at the hotel’s signature restaurant. “Located within the walls of the Palacio del Bailío hotel, featuring a patio where you can dine above Roman remains!” was the note from Michelin Guide about this unique Andalusian restaurant. The changing menu will tempt you with the likes of salmorejo cordobés with Iberian toast and tomato powder ice cream, burrata with tomato and basil textures, oxtail ravioli, and desserts such as cheesecake with stewed fruits of the forest and yuzu ice cream.
![Patio Romano Restaurant and Tapas Bar](http://itc.imgix.net/websiteimages/luxurytravel/mud_jar._mesa1.jpg?fit=crop&auto=enhance&w=300&h=200)

Spa & Wellness
Walk through the hotel’s citrus trees to the Roman columns of the Bodyna Spa, where restorative therapies and relaxing treatments await.
