Hotel Madinat
Last updated: 10 November, 2022
Convenient for all of Cordoba’s main attractions and just 350m from the Mezquita, this four star hotel on a quiet street has bags of quirky charm and local flavour.
Housed in a refurbished 18th-century building, it has a classic patio courtyard and two terraces on different levels looking out over the city’s brown-tile roofs and towers. Each of the 11 spacious rooms has a distinctive character, along with their coloured tile floors; the deluxe doubles are so romantic they could star in a film.
There’s an exclusive hammam, just big enough for two, with optional massages. It’s perfect for couples looking for something a little magical in the heart of Cordoba.
