Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Arenal
A converted 16th-century palace with a sculptural rooftop pool terrace delivering panoramic views over the Giralda and cathedral, tastefully decorated with contemporary Andalucían craftsmanship. The Mercer's attention to historical detail paired with modern luxury is exemplary.
Santa Cruz
A bold contemporary design hotel spread across several renovated houses directly opposite the Cathedral and Giralda, with a spectacular rooftop bar and pool that commands the best view in Seville. The interiors mix Moorish heritage with a distinctly modern editorial aesthetic.
Triana
Seville's best-reviewed hostel in the Triana quarter, offering private rooms alongside dorms, a rooftop terrace with river views, and a genuinely social atmosphere that appeals to solo travellers and couples on a budget.
Santa Cruz
The grande dame of Seville — a 1929 neo-Mudéjar masterpiece built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition, with a soaring central courtyard, Moorish tilework, and rooms of regal proportions. One of Spain's great historic hotels, and the undisputed address of choice for kings and presidents.
Santa Cruz
An intimate boutique hotel in a 19th-century Sevillian palace steps from the Cathedral, with courtyards planted with orange trees, individually styled rooms using local Mudéjar tilework and antiques, and a rooftop terrace with cathedral views. Impeccably run with outstanding personal service.
Arenal
A graceful four-star hotel in a beautifully restored 18th-century palace near the Maestranza bullring, with a central patio fountain, arched Sevillian corridors, and well-appointed rooms at competitive prices. An excellent mid-range choice in a superb location.
