Andalucia Diary – Seasonal Travel Notes

Palacio De Bailio

Hotels in Cordoba

During my last visit to Cordoba, we stayed in two hotels, giving an idea of the two main types of accommodation on offer in the city for discerning guests.  Firstly, a boutique hotel, ‘Hotel Viento10‘, in a superb location, within easy walking distance of all the historic sights.  You can read my review of this hotel on my Journeys of your Life travel blog. It’s a wonderful, light filled boutique property.

The second property was the ‘Palacio de Balio‘, a 5 star property in a converted Palace, to the north of old town, operated by Hospes. It’s not such a convenient location for walking around the most popular part of old town and the Jewish quarter, but the historic palace is stunning.  The rooms are well appointed and the decor striking. It’s looking just a little tired around the edges, so is probably due for a make over, but it is the only upscale property in the city.

Salmorejo and tapas at the Palacio de Bailio Cordoba Andrew Forbes

The Palacio de Bailio has a good tapas bar which I recommend – it was one of the few places that served decent salmorejo.
