The Best Hotels Near Cibus, by the Record

The Gothic facade on Calle de San Pablo is austere enough to make you wonder if you've misread the booking, but the coffered ceilings and grand arched loggia inside settle it quickly: this is a 16th-century palace turned small hotel in the heart of Baeza's old town. Thirty rooms keep the stone walls and carved wood intact, some with private balconies. No restaurant, just a lobby bar, which is fine given how many tapas bars are within easy walking distance.

A medieval castle perched above Jaén, converted by the Paradores group into a luxury hotel with the kind of stone walls and vaulted archways that make modern furniture look like it wandered in from a different century. One room is named for Charles de Gaulle, who slept here on a state visit. The restaurant serves traditional Andalusian food under chandeliers, and the pool looks out over two mountain ranges at once.
