Our Picks

Santa Cruz
A labyrinthine complex of 27 connected townhouses threaded through the old Jewish quarter with interior gardens, fountains, and 138 individually furnished rooms. One of Seville's most idiosyncratic and romantic hotel experiences.
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.
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 musical-themed boutique in a restored Santa Cruz mansion where rooms are equipped with upright pianos and named after composers, with a rooftop terrace and one of the most welcoming owner-run atmospheres in the city. Beloved by musicians, artists, and romantic travellers.
Santa Cruz
One of Seville's most beloved independent hotels, occupying an 18th-century mansion with a classic azulejo-tiled courtyard and rooms varying in size and decoration. The value proposition for this location and character is almost unbeatable in Seville.
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.
