In 2025, Hospes Hotels reaffirms its commitment to excellence through the comprehensive renovation of three of its most emblematic properties: Hospes Palau de la Mar in Valencia, Hospes Palacio del Bailío in Córdoba, and Hospes Palacio de los Patos in Granada.
Three architectural gems that, through a contemporary lens and deep respect for their history, are being reimagined as benchmarks of experiential hospitality in Spain.
🏛️ Hospes Palacio de los Patos: A sensory journey with the soul of Granada
In Granada, the iconic Hospes Palacio de los Patos is nearing the final stages of its full renovation — a transformation led by Bárbara Chapartegui and Álex Briones, encompassing both the historic palace and the Alabaster Building.
This project has been conceived as an emotional experience that blends heritage, contemporary design, and Mediterranean sensitivity. In the original palace, guest rooms and common areas are enriched with upholstered headboards, sculptural lighting, modern mouldings, and illumination that highlights the centennial architecture.
Meanwhile, the Alabaster Building adopts a minimalist yet warm aesthetic, with natural stone bathrooms, functional furniture, and flowing curtains. This duality between tradition and modernity results in a deeply harmonious space.
With this transformation, Hospes strengthens its purpose-driven hospitality model, where design is not just about beauty — it tells a story, conveys identity, and enhances well-being.
🥇 Hospes Palau de la Mar: The art of Valencian silk as a design inspiration
Located in a 19th-century palace in the heart of Valencia, Hospes Palau de la Mar is completing its total renovation, guided by a design concept inspired by Valencia’s historic silk tradition. Under the creative direction of renowned interior designer Tomás Alía, and executed by Estudio Caramba and CIDON, the project merges artisan heritage with contemporary innovation.
In the first completed phase, the palace’s rooms were redesigned using noble materials, decorative latticework, and an enveloping color palette. The design evokes the lightness of silk and offers a sophisticated, exclusive atmosphere that connects with Valencia’s cultural legacy.
Throughout 2025, the second phase will continue — encompassing the renovation of additional rooms, suites, and common areas — consolidating a renewed identity that remains faithful to the hotel’s original essence.
“At Hospes, our commitment is to preserve history while enhancing luxury in every space. Just as at Hospes Palacio de los Patos in Granada — where the full renovation led by Bárbara Chapartegui will be completed this summer — at Hospes Palau de la Mar in Valencia, we are reimagining the soul of the hotel through the inspiration of silk, fusing tradition, elegance, and innovation.”
The renovation of Palau de la Mar embodies the perfect fusion of tradition and modernity. With a design inspired by Valencian silk, the hotel deepens its commitment to excellence and authenticity, offering guests an immersive experience in the heritage and well-being of the city.
🌿 Hospes Palacio del Bailío: history, design, and authenticity in the heart of Córdoba
🌿 Hospes Palacio del Bailío: History, design, and authenticity in the heart of Córdoba
Hospes Palacio del Bailío, in Córdoba, renews its spirit without losing its historical essence. Built over Roman ruins and adorned with centuries-old frescoes, the hotel has been reinterpreted by designers Bárbara Chapartegui and Tristán Domecq to offer a sensory experience that combines heritage elegance with contemporary comfort.
The first renovated rooms — including the iconic Gran Capitán Suite — feature oak headboards, fine textiles, Dekton stone bathrooms, and carefully curated lighting. Every detail has been chosen to create a balance between authenticity and modernity.
The common areas have also been redesigned: the lobby, traditional Andalusian courtyards, and outdoor restaurant now feature natural materials, custom-made furniture, and an aesthetic that pays homage to Andalusian architecture.
With this transformation, the hotel is reaffirmed as an official five-star property, projecting a renewed identity that strengthens its unique position in the luxury hospitality market.
🌟 Hospes Hotels: Redefining high-end hospitality in 2025
The renovations at Hospes Palau de la Mar, Palacio del Bailío, and Palacio de los Patos mark a new era for the brand. Each transformation respects the soul of the original building while infusing it with a warm, sophisticated, and contemporary design language.
Hospes solidifies its positioning in the premium segment, offering not just accommodation, but immersive experiences — where history, art, wellness, and hospitality come together.
Local inspiration — such as Valencian silk in Palau de la Mar — heritage preservation, and purposeful design become the cornerstones of this evolution, shaping a new definition of high-end tourism in Spain.
