Andalucía’s fabulous capital, Seville is a gorgeous historic city with a well-deserved reputation for flamboyant Moorish architecture, a buzzy foodie scene and stacks of culture. It’s a hugely popular destination for a romantic weekend break, with a vast array of appealing hotels, B&Bs and villas available for rent. Set within the city’s most intriguing neighbourhoods, our pick of the best places to stay in Seville offers something superb for everyone.
The heart of the city — Centro Seville — is home to pedestrianised streets, chic boutiques and the enormous Seville Cathedral. It’s a lovely setting for five star luxury, and those eager to have heritage landmarks right on their doorstep, and easy access to the surrounding districts. We’re particular fans of Santa Cruz, Seville’s beautiful medieval Jewish quarter, which is characterised by labyrinthine alleyways surrounding a small plaza. Colourful ceramic tiles, windows bedecked with geraniums and a laid-back vibe make this a very appealing neighbourhood, and its our top chocie for family-friendly accommdation. Hip and historic Alfalfa, just next door, is known for its lively tapas bars as is the Alameda, a top spot for buzzy evenings out.
Discover Seville's countless historic sites, museums and architectural gems on foot, with guided walking tours or meandering sunlit strolls. You’ll find no shortage of cafés and bars for refreshing pauses in the shade, or for tucking in to delicious southern Spanish specialities. Don’t miss delving into Andalucía’s rich maritime past around The Arenal, where sailors once set off for the New World. Now a hub of bars and flamenco, the old shipyards have been respectfully restored.
Whilst summers in Seville can be very hot, spring and autumn are lovely. The week-long Feria de Abril and the Semana Santa celebrations are particularly popular; rooms at the best places to stay in Seville fill up fast during this time!
