Fodor's Expert Review Hospes Las Casas del Rey de Baeza

Behind the striking white-and-ocher facade lies what was once a humble 18th-century corrala (corridor house), now a pretty hotel combining original features such as teal verandas with modern comforts and fine cuisine. Five verdant patios link the cozy communal areas, and gentle fountains provide the soundtrack. The rooms come generously sized—those on the upper floors have the most natural light, some on the first floor look out onto the patios, and the street-facing rooms have frontline views of the procession leaving the next-door church on the Monday of Holy Week. The rooftop terrace has a bar and refreshing pool, and the in-house restaurant, Azahar, provides reputable local fare for lunch and dinner.
