La Llave de la Juderia
La Llave de la Juderia is the "key to the Jewish Quarter," which fits perfectly, considering the hotel tells the story of this neighborhood by merging three different historic houses. The owners maintained the architecture and historical charms of the buildings, so you can enjoy plenty of nods to the past. As a Historic-Artistic World Heritage Site, the hotel features fountains, floor tiling, columns, staircases, and more.
Because of the building's history, no two rooms are the same. Though some might find the decor a little too old-fashioned, it definitely channels the classic past. Each room has a double bed and ensuite bathroom, wood floors, colorful wallpaper, and antique furnishings. The hotel aims to keep the rooms as classic as possible and even uses old-fashioned bedding that's reminiscent of the Spanish countryside.
Enjoy a small breakfast buffet outside on the courtyard patio, a space where you can also sip a drink from the 24-hour reception bar. Other common areas include an elegant sitting room, an outdoor terrace, and a patio with olive trees.
The Jewish Quarter is an ideal neighborhood for accommodation in Córdoba, filled with numerous sites. You'll be just three minutes by foot from the Córdoba Synagogue and Mezquita-Catedral. You can also easily walk to sites like the Puente Romano, Alcázar Andalusí de Córdoba, Calleja de las Flores, and the Caballerizas Reales (Royal Stables). Learn more

Posada de Vallina
Hotel Posada de Vallina is across the street from the Mezquita-Catedral, a truly perfect location. Plus, its history is also linked to the city's most famous site, as the same builders of the mosque, the Alarifes, completed the hotel's structure. In the Middle Ages, it was transformed into a hotel. Because it was on Vía Augusta, a place where colonizers and merchants met, the inn hosted many historical figures, including Christopher Colombus.
Enjoy the hotel's history by spending time in its grand lobby with a large mural, chandelier, and beautiful inner courtyard. Though the hotel doesn't serve breakfast, there's a café with coffee, drinks, and small snacks right on the property. Despite the historic appeal of the building, the rooms feel left behind with fairly basic furnishings. Though simple, all are clean and modern and include a double bed (families can request a triple room). Still, you can enjoy a few historical elements in the rooms, including wooden furniture and stone archways above the beds.
You'll find Hotel Posada de Vallina directly across the street from the Mezquita-Catedral and around the corner from the Puente Romano. You can easily walk to the city's other sites, such as the Córdoba Synagogue and Plaza de la Corredera, in no more than 10 minutes. Learn more
Patios del Orfebre
Experience Córdoba's famous terraces by staying at Patios del Orfebre, a 16th-century home with a preserved inner courtyard patio. The building is one of the best examples of Andalusian architecture and the region's love affair with patios. The hotel's name translates to "Courtyards of the Goldsmith," paying homage to one of Córdoba's most important crafts and trades, and many of the artisans creating golden pieces made them right in this very building. You'll find historic elements like walls from the Roman and Caliphate eras, hydraulic flooring, and restored tiles and wood beams.
Set in the Jewish Quarter, you'll be around the corner from the 14th-century city gate, Puerta de Almodóvar, and all the major sites are within walking distance, including the Mezquita-Catedral, Puente Romano, and Plaza de la Corredera. Patios del Orfebre doesn't have as many amenities as other properties on our list, but you can enjoy the building's beauty and history, its outdoor patio day, and the small display of archaeological ruins in the courtyard, which many rooms directly face.
The hotel's history and preserved building are definitely its charms, but the rooms and bathrooms fit the basic, standard category. They are rather simple with outdated furnishings, though all have dining areas and minifridges, plus modern and clean bathrooms. Book early to secure one of the suites, some of which have sofas, dining tables, and private rooftop terraces with views of the Jewish Quarter. Learn more
