Hospes Hotels & Moments and The Spirit of Al-Andalus:
A journey through the past and present of Seville, Granada and Cordoba
|
|
Hospes Hotels & Moments propose an exclusive way to discover the spirit of Andalusia. With accommodation in the group’s historically significant members of design hotels™, guests will experience spaces that are – like the cities themselves – a vibrant mix of cultures, traditions and modern elements.
The “Spirit of Al-Andalus” arrangement spoils guests with extras including options for breakfast in bed, upgrades upon check-in, a private “Califal” dinner for two, and special attention from the Hospes team. The cultural journey is enhanced with entrance passes to The Mosque of Cordoba, The Alhambra of Granada, The Real Alcazar in Seville and, not to be missed, a night of authentic flamenco.
Hospes Las Casas del Rey de Baeza – Seville
With its maze of courtyards, two tiers of balustraded galleries, old stone, Spanish tile and welcoming hues of ochre and blue, the Hospes Las Casas del Rey de Baeza distils the best of Seville. Rustic elements share space with those of contemporary interior design to create a place of southern colour, light and comfort. The Senzone restaurant pleases with authentic Sevillian flavours while the roof-top is a haven of relaxation with its pool and new Bodyna spa scheduled to open next month.
Hospes Palacio de los Patos – Granada
A 19th century palace and a dramatic modern building form the two parts of this urban retreat. The palace retains original details such as mosaics, trompe-l’oeil ceilings and a grand marble staircase, while the alabaster-clad building next door is a vision in white. Throughout, the interiors show a distinctive identity of multicultural, progressive design. From the Senzone cuisine to the Alhambra-inspired landscaping and pampering treatments of the Bodyna spa, the Palacio de los Patos offers guests a complete sensory and avant-garde experience of Granada’s rich cultural history.
Hospes Palacio del Bailío – Cordoba
Diving deep into the historical centre of Cordoba, guests enter a privileged space of great cultural significance. Built between the 16th and 18th centuries, with the ruins of a Roman villa exposed beneath a glass floor, this traditional Andalusian estate has been meticulously restored and finely balanced with contemporary design. Original detailing such as wrought-iron railings, Moorish elements and terracotta tiles are complemented on the interior by clean design with marble floors, dark walnut wood and rich fabrics in tones of copper and champagne. Here guests will again be spoiled by the best of regional cuisine at Senzone and a Bodyna spa’s menu of indulgence.
