The Eurostars Maimonides takes its name from Córdoba's 12th-century philosopher and physician, born a short walk from this square. The hotel sits on the iconic street facing the Mezquita-Catedral. Its central patio — columns, azulejos, the particular cool that stone and tile generate in summer — is the kind of Andalusian inner courtyard you come to Córdoba hoping to find.
The Rooms
Rooms are spacious and tastefully done: carved wooden headboards, Andalusian textiles, powerful air conditioning, premium bedding. Some have a direct view of the Mezquita façade — the night illumination from the window is an argument for booking one of those rooms specifically. Bathrooms were recently renovated: marble, contemporary fittings.
The Restaurant and Bar
The hotel restaurant does Andalusian cuisine that revisits local classics — salmorejo, rabo de toro, flamenquín. Not trying to be avant-garde; trying to be good at what Córdoba actually does well. The bar is a reasonable place to have a drink after a long day walking the historic quarter.
Location
The Judería is at the front door. The Synagogue is 3 minutes away; the Alcázar is 5 minutes. Parking is available — advance reservation recommended, as this is rare in the pedestrianised centre.
