The Apartamentos Calleja de la Hoguera are not serviced apartments with prints on the walls. Each of the 8 apartments holds original artworks commissioned from artists Mon Montoya and Eloisa Sanz — paintings, photographs, and sculptures that rotate with temporary exhibitions. The two traditional houses that make up the property sit at the end of a medieval pedestrian lane where foot traffic from the tourist quarter doesn't reach.
What the Apartments Actually Include
Every apartment has a fully equipped kitchen with oven, dishwasher, and utensils, plus a washer-dryer and either a private patio or access to communal outdoor spaces. The handmade clay floors were made by hand; the exposed beams and stone walls were uncovered during restoration. These are materials with actual age and texture, not reproduction finishes.
The Terrace
The shared rooftop terrace looks directly at the Mezquita-Catedral — unobstructed, 200 metres away. Morning coffee up there before the square fills up is a genuinely good use of time. The Calleja de las Flores and the Synagogue are under 3 minutes on foot. The Roman Bridge is 4 minutes.
The Welcome
There is no automated check-in. The private 24-hour reception is staffed by people who know the neighbourhood, can book restaurants, and follow the local art scene. For guests who want a hotel with full services nearby, the Patio del Posadero has 6 rooms and an on-site gourmet restaurant. Las Casas de la Judería has a spa and interconnected patios across five 15th-century palaces. After a long day out, the Hammam Al Andalus is just steps away.
