Azur Hotel & SPA is, as they say, a true “serendipity” (or unexpected discovery). In addition to five-star comfort and services, the guest who arrives for more than just a luxury stay is enchanted by the history of this building, built in 1915, and declared of heritage and architectural value. Like all properties of its lineage that end up trapped by the voracious dynamics of large metropolises, the saga of uses and characters that inhabited it throughout the 20th century give a special flavor to the accommodation experience, something that its owners have knew how to take advantage.
The building is today a jewel that combines architecture with endless original details to discover. The preservation criteria allowed us to rescue wooden stairs, stained glass windows, vaulted ceilings, and original carpentry with the classic badge indicating the number of the school classroom that once functioned there. A brick hallway leads to the rooms, all different from each other, which function in the original spaces of the old house.
But it is not only the revaluation of this historic building that makes it a unique hotel in the country. A chain of transformative experiences occurs throughout the stay of those who visit it, where its SPA Baños de Azur stands out, the hotel’s hidden underground gem.
After 4 years of work and enhancement, Azur Hotel launched this unique product that put the city at the global forefront in terms of wellness and wellness centers. Baños de Azur was recently awarded as one of the best Spas in Latin America. A temple dedicated to relaxation whose main concept is the search for true well-being. A 2-hour private tour by candlelight, where the premise is placed on water in its different states and temperatures, and its proven health benefits. A circuit where each sector has been designed as a ritual of disconnection of contemplation, aromas, sensations and silence.
Even before entering the hotel, the perfume that you anticipate from the street already suggests that it will be a stay destined to involve all the senses. Perhaps it is the new concept of well-being of today’s times. It is no coincidence that the hotel’s detailed hospitality is already a trademark in Córdoba. And what makes an experience transformative today? Without a doubt, being able to connect with oneself and with the environment, a quality that is increasingly difficult. From the genuine smile and service of the Azur team, the aroma of its hallways, the candles that are lit at every sunset, the tasting of complimentary cheeses and wines with guests when the sun goes down, the bag of lavender in the bed to A good rest, among so many other details, invite you to connect each of the senses, challenging the concept of hospitality of any hotel.
And because well-being and gastronomy always go hand in hand, a proposal that crowns this sequence of experiences on the hotel terrace: La Despensa de Azur, a restaurant that puts Córdoba in the spotlight, with its artisan producers, its valleys and mountains and the products of the native forest. La Despensa bets on the simple and the regional: relaxed inns to share, freshness, spontaneity and quality. The proposal is based on abundant and delicious preparations with a taste of home. Nutritious breakfast counters, with products developed from organic raw materials, moving on to lunch with a large buffet of fresh salads and quality proteins, also with vegetarian, vegan and plant based options. In the evening menu, DNA takes center stage, as a dynamic and creative menu constantly changes, following the cycle of the producers and nature itself, with traditional – and not so traditional – dishes that invite you to travel through our province. in an authentic and deep experience.
Link, be a bridge and allow visitors to recognize Córdoba in its spaces, its flavors, its warmth, its textures, its service and its smells. Being able to learn about the history of a province through a lodging experience that enhances the lost luxury of the simple and spontaneous seems to be the art that Azur masters. A microworld that hides the best of a province in an authentic, relaxed and moving way. Feel again. What is it if not the new luxury today?
