The Cordoba boutique hotels are quite popular with tourists, and it's not hard to understand why they serve as such popular alternatives to the city's hotels and vacation rentals. For starters, boutique hotels, which are also known as design hotels, put a focus on style, and this is especially discernable in the guestrooms. Also common are good amenities, and due to relatively small room counts, an intimate atmosphere is also something that can be expected.

There aren't a ton of Cordoba design hotels to choose from, though it should be mentioned that most of the lodging establishments that call this Spanish city home are stylish. As for those that fall into the boutique hotel category, one of the best is the Hospes Palacio del Bailio (pictured). Situated at 10 Ramirez de las Casas Deza street, this Cordoba luxury hotel par excellence enjoys a great location in the heart of the historical district. It only gets better when you consider the immaculate style and comfort of the rooms and suites, not to mention the onsite spa facilities. A tapas bar and a restaurant also figure among the Hospes Palacio del Bailio facilities, and meeting rooms are available for those who might need them.

Another excellent boutique hotel that Cordoba visitors might keep on the radar is the Hospederia del Atalia. Also found in the historic district, this stylish haven for the weary traveler is just a short walk from any number of great attractions, the Puente Romano included, and guests can book a variety of recreational tours through the staff. These tours include bike tours that have the hotel's owner as a guide. This owner was once a professional cyclist. In the elegant guestrooms at the Hospederia del Atalia, historic charm blends with modern chic, and many travelers will appreciate the fact that guests are treated to complimentary continental breakfasts in the morning, so this hotel also serves as one of the bed and breakfasts in town. 19 Buen Pastor street is the address.
