Balcón de Córdoba Hotel
The Balcón de Córdoba Hotel ("Balcony of Córdoba") gets its name from the rooftop terrace views, which sit atop the city and open up to the Mezquita-Catedral. You get incredible views of the city's history, but you'll also find unique nods to the path within the hotel. The building itself mixes Islamic, Castillian, and Flemish influences, though all seem to blend together in a traditional medieval housing concept. Thanks to the local government and universities, you'll find over 100 archaeological items. Even individual rooms feature ancient mosaics or Roman artifacts, so you'll truly sleep among history.
Enjoy some of the best views of the Mezquita-Catedral while sipping a tinto de verano or coffee. You can also enjoy dinner from the rooftop or opt for a table in the leafy courtyard downstairs. And since the building combines two old houses from the 17th century, you'll find several common spaces to enjoy tucked into courtyards and other charming corners.
Much like all of Andalusia, Córdoba can get very hot throughout the year. Luckily, the rooms at Balcón de Córdoba provide a calm reprieve with bright and airy spaces featuring neutral tones, balconies, cushy bedding, and bright, modern bathrooms. The rooms feature names of Roman and Greek goddesses and unique international words that represent the decor.
Tucked in the winding streets of the Jewish Quarter, the hotel is within easy walking distance of all the sites of the city. You'll be less than one block from the Mezquita-Catedral and its Patio de los Naranjos, filled with orange trees. A five-minute walk takes you to the Puerta del Puente leading to the old Roman bridge, and another five minutes passing the Alcázar as you make your way to the old Synagogue. Learn more
