Seville · Andalusia · Spain
Where you stay in Seville is part of the experience, not just a base. We match you with a hotel that fits how you like to travel — a tucked-away boutique hotel, a modern room high above the city, or a historic landmark.
01Where to stay
Distances are in a straight line to the Cathedral.
El Arenal was Seville’s river port, between the Cathedral and the Guadalquivir, and keeps the Maestranza bullring and its theatre. Its streets are lively, with historic taverns and tapas bars, and many of its nightlife venues close late: worth knowing if you want quiet nights.
An intimate five-star boutique hotel in a late 19th-century mansion in El Arenal, with a rooftop terrace and pool for guests.
Suits Couples and travellers who prefer a boutique scale and a residential feel to a grand hotel, with the historic centre on foot.
Santa Cruz grew out of the medieval Jewish quarter, which also took in today’s San Bartolomé, and holds the Cathedral, the Giralda and the Real Alcázar. It is the most visited part of the old town: right for a first visit built around the monuments, and busy by day.
Landmark grandeur: Seville's famous 1929 grand hotel, with a colonnaded courtyard restaurant and an outdoor pool.
Suits Families, and travellers who want a grand hotel: suites that take up to four guests, connecting rooms subject to availability, and an outdoor pool.
A four-star heritage hotel spread across 27 connected houses and more than 40 patios in the old Jewish quarter.
Suits Couples, and families with one child under 12, drawn to traditional Sevillian houses and patios, with a Giralda view from the summer rooftop pool.
Santa Catalina is the smallest neighbourhood of the old town, on its eastern edge by the churches of Santa Catalina and Santiago. It borders the lively Alfalfa, and suits travellers who want the old town without staying among the monuments.
A smaller 18th-century palace of 48 rooms around an arcaded courtyard, with a rooftop terrace and small pool.
Suits Couples who want an 18th-century palace at a small scale, with a spa and a small pool on the roof terrace.
La Cartuja is an island across the Guadalquivir from the old town, where a 15th-century Carthusian monastery is now the Andalusian centre of contemporary art. For travellers who prefer modern buildings, open space and riverside walks, with the monuments a river away.
The top nineteen floors of Torre Sevilla, Andalusia's tallest building: 244 exterior rooms, with a restaurant, a spa and a rooftop terrace stacked above them.
Suits Travellers who want the view and the space rather than the old quarter on the doorstep — the Triana bridge is a walk downriver, and the Cathedral is across the water.
Another area to consider
Triana, across the bridge from the old town, has long been home to potters and flamenco artists, with its market, ceramic workshops and the riverside bars of Calle Betis. None of our featured hotels is in old Triana; tell us if you would like to stay there.

Most of Seville’s landmarks lie in the historic centre on the east bank of the Guadalquivir, with Triana across the river and La Cartuja to the north-west. The map shows our featured hotels and the Cathedral.
