The property combines preserved architectural heritage with contemporary design, offering 89 rooms, courtyard spaces, and wellness amenities. A key feature is the launch of Tablafina, a restaurant that reinterprets traditional Andalusian cuisine.

(PRESS RELEASE) CÓRDOBA, Spain, 2026-Mar-17 — /Travel PR News/ — NH Collection Hotels & Resorts, part of Minor Hotels, has unveiled NH Collection Palacio de Córdoba, marking the rebirth of a historic 18th-century palace as a five-star destination in one of Spain’s most culturally rich cities. The newly transformed property blends heritage architecture with contemporary design, creating a refined hospitality experience rooted in Córdoba’s unique identity.
Located in the heart of the city’s Jewish Quarter, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the hotel occupies a site layered with centuries of history, including remnants of a Roman residence, a Renaissance palace, and later noble dwellings. Its position along a preserved section of Córdoba’s ancient city wall allows guests to experience history firsthand, with architectural features seamlessly incorporated into the hotel’s modern design. The property also enjoys immediate proximity to key landmarks such as the Mosque–Cathedral and Casa Andalusí.
The redesign reflects a careful balance between preservation and innovation, maintaining original elements while introducing a contemporary aesthetic. The hotel is organised around three traditional Cordoban courtyards—Patio de Petra, Patio Mudéjar, and Patio del Compás—where natural light, greenery, and historic textures create tranquil spaces that connect guests with the building’s past.
The property features 89 redesigned rooms, including twelve Junior Suites and five Suites, each offering a distinctive blend of modern comfort and historical character. Many accommodations provide views of Córdoba’s skyline, the Mosque–Cathedral’s tower, or the ancient city wall, while others overlook private courtyards adorned with traditional pebble mosaics. Interiors emphasise understated elegance through soft tones, natural materials, and clean lines.
Public areas have also been reimagined to enhance the guest experience, with open, light-filled spaces that integrate greenery and architectural heritage. Amenities include an outdoor pool set within a courtyard, a 24-hour fitness centre, and thoughtfully designed wellness areas aimed at relaxation and comfort.
A key highlight of the transformation is the introduction of Tablafina, the hotel’s new culinary concept. Set within the palace complex, the restaurant celebrates Andalusian and Cordoban gastronomy through a contemporary approach. The menu combines traditional Spanish offerings such as Iberian cured meats and artisanal cheeses with regional specialities including salmorejo and oxtail stew, alongside seasonal dishes that reinterpret local cuisine. With seating for approximately 90 guests, Tablafina is positioned as a notable addition to the city’s dining scene.
The opening of NH Collection Palacio de Córdoba represents a significant milestone for the brand, reinforcing its focus on delivering premium hospitality experiences that combine cultural authenticity with modern sophistication.
