Spend peaceful hours in the hotel’s Spa Bodyna, where you’ll find the entrance to Roman baths and treatment cabins opening into a courtyard flanked by Roman columns. Arbequina takes inspiration from the past to create a style of avant-garde gastronomy. Enjoy Javier Moreno’s cuisine on the terrace. Sip aperitifs while looking at the Roman domus.

The hotel is a fully realized combination of culture, wellbeing, art, history, cuisine and relaxation. Guests partake of a vivid experience as they enjoy the flavours of the region at the Arbequina Restaurant & Tapas Bar, relax in the impressive rare plant garden, have an aperitif overlooking the nearby ruins of a Roman villa, or at the Bodyna Spa, which provides access to the most remarkable ancient Roman spas in the city.

Built between the 16th and 18th centuries this traditional agrarian estate in Andalucia has been meticulously restored and finely balanced with contemporary design. Original detailing such as wrought-iron balcony railings, terracotta tiles, Moorish decorative elements and a lavishly painted ceiling have been artfully combined with understated modern touches at the Hospes Palacio del Bailio in Cordoba. Rich fabrics and textures in champagne and copper tones are offset by dark walnut wood and light polished marble floors throughout the interiors – solid slabs of black stone from Cordoba lead to the gardens outside, thus creating a stylistic bridge from the interior to the exterior.

Hospes Palacio del Bailio is composed of several buildings arranged around a total of five patios. The main patio is also the most spectacular as the traditional paving has been replaced with a glass floor, revealing a dramatic perspective on the Roman ruins buried four and a half metres below. Restoring paintings and frescos from the 19th century is a further example of the care and attention given to the revitalization of past beauty at the Hospes Palacio del Bailío. The clean pure lines, the sense of history and luxury all reflect the peace and quiet you will enjoy at this Andalusian getaway.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?

No - VIP rates under Design Hotels Collective always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.

What is the value of the VIP benefits?

Daily breakfast for two plus the $100 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.

How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?

Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.

Can my AI assistant book this hotel?

Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT and ask for rates. You finish the booking on a secure Rialto page. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
