The Best Hotels Near La Taberna de Almodóvar, by the Record
-
A glass floor in the atrium looks down into the ruins of a Roman villa, which sets the tone for this boutique hotel tucked into a genuine Andalusian palace. Rooms either ring the main courtyard, with its old palms and pool, or open onto quieter side patios. Some have century-old frescoes; the underground spa sits beside actual Roman baths. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key. Contemporary interiors, cool stone, and deliberate shade, because in southern Spain, sunlight is never the problem.
-
A rooftop bar with a front-row view of the Mosque-Cathedral is a strong argument for a hotel, and this converted palace on Plaza de las Tendillas makes the most of it. The boutique property pairs the original Andalusian courtyard below with Scandinavian-minimal interiors, pale wood floors, and charcoal-tiled bathrooms. Suites come with furnished terraces over the UNESCO historic center, and breakfast happens under coffered ceilings hung with old Spanish paintings.
-
Two 18th-century palaces in Córdoba's old Jewish quarter, folded around a series of Moorish courtyard spaces, make an unlikely luxury hotel that happens to work beautifully. Rooms lean contemporary, but some keep their original stone walls, and a few catch a glimpse of the mosque-cathedral's tower over the old quarter wall. Breakfast and after-dinner drinks both spill into the courtyards, which do the heavy lifting that a rooftop bar would need to.
-
Breakfast is served on the chapel altar, which sets the tone for this boutique hotel occupying an officially designated monument in Córdoba's UNESCO old town. The building began as an 18th-century chapel; the hermit's house next door is now a café. Rooms range from one built around an exposed ancient well to a terrace suite with a plunge pool and views of the Mosque-Cathedral. The Michelin Guide has it among its selected hotels.
-
Six rooms, a 15th-century courtyard, and a rooftop plunge pool barely big enough for two: this adults-only boutique guesthouse in Córdoba's historic center runs more like a private home than a hotel, which is mostly the point. Original Andalusian architecture picks up Moroccan-inspired details and some genuinely unexpected modern touches. Italian-Spanish hosts Lisa and José supply breakfast heavy on house-made items, then send you off into the old city with good directions.
-
Seven rooms tucked inside a 16th-century building in Córdoba's historic center, arranged around a stone-columned courtyard like a Moroccan riad, except someone filled it with concrete, glass, and bold color instead of tilework. The rooftop terrace, jacuzzi, and sauna make it easy to forget the Mezquita is a short walk away. The Michelin Guide has it among its selected hotels, and it books up fast enough to make that feel plausible.
