Las Casas de la Judería is five 15th-century palaces joined together. Descend to the basement and you walk above Roman, Visigothic, and Arab ruins that document 2,000 years of Córdoba's history. The 64 rooms connect through a network of inner courtyards and vaulted passages — an actual labyrinth, not a design concept.
The Patios
Each palace has its own Andalusian patio: fountains, ornamental arcades, some dating from the 15th century. Rooms hold original features — brick vaults, antique azulejos, carved wooden beams. The main inner courtyard, shaded by century-old orange trees, is where most guests end up spending more time than they planned. The sound of water and thick stone walls do a lot of work when the temperature outside hits 38°C.
Spa and Pool
The spa draws on Andalusian hammam tradition with a heated indoor pool under stone vaults. For a fuller thermal experience in a more intimate setting, the Hammam Al Andalus is just steps away in the Judería. The gardens hold an outdoor pool — one of the few in the historic centre surrounded by actual vegetation.
Where Things Are
The hotel is in the UNESCO zone, 3 minutes from the Mezquita-Catedral. The Calleja de las Flores and the Synagogue are under 5 minutes on foot. Noor (Michelin-starred) is 400 metres; El Churrasco is 200 metres.
For a self-catering apartment in the same neighbourhood with a panoramic Mezquita terrace, Apartamentos Calleja de la Hoguera is 200 metres from the monument with commissioned original artworks on the walls.
