Hospes Palacio de los Patos. Granada, Spain

Located in a historical palace in the financial district of Granada, Hospes Palacio de los Patos hotel is mightily impressive. Classic on the outside but particularly modern on the inside, the design is clean lines, natural light, whitewashed walls, and uniquely designed rooms. The ceilings are particularly high, which is rare for hotels in Granada.

The rooms are a mixture of historic and modern to pay its respects to it’s 19th Century Palace origins. You access the rooms via a giant marble staircase that perfectly compliments the modern chandeliers hanging from the ceiling three floors above.

Los Patos is their outdoor dining option, which is perfect for a clear warm day. Christmas lights hang above you to create a beautiful ambiance you wont soon forget. The moor pastela, influence of the mozarab cuisine or the scallop salad with citrus and saffron, or the tuna fillet with lime cream and wasabi are just a few highlights from the menu.

After your 2 hour luncheon and siesta, head to the Bodyna Spa to have your feet massage after a long day of walking and sightseeing. Their Turkish spa is also fantastic and worth a try.

Hospes Palacio del Bailio. Cordoba, Spain

During my tour of Andalucia, one thing I noticed is how aw-mazing the Hospes Hotels were in each city I visited. Hospes Palcio del Bailio, located in the charming and historic town of Cordoba, was definitely one of my top highlights of the city. Situated in the center of the city, among a romantic maze of streets, sits this ivy-covered building. The palacio itself dates back to the 16th Century and even houses some archaeological remains of a Roman Villa.

Each of the rooms is uniquely decorated with original murals, hand painted stuccos, Egyptian cotton sheets, and lots of natural lighting. There is a very romantic and laid-back vibe to this hotel; you can picture yourself there, sipping an espresso in the garden courtyard and sitting across from a loved one.

The spa and food are the drawing factors to this hotel. The spa is down a winding staircase and the second you step in it smells like eucalyptus and immediately relaxes you.

The food is absolutely spectacular! The Iberic pork Gua Bao is out of the world, pair it with the delectable Burrata Cheese Salad and you’ll be in heaven.
