Hotel Alfonso XIII, Seville

A Living Museum of Andalusian Craftsmanship

Crossing the threshold of Alfonso XIII is like stepping into a cinematic vision of Spain—one where Moorish arches frame lush courtyards, ceramic mosaics shimmer in the afternoon light, and grand chandeliers illuminate hallways that have welcomed everyone from Grace Kelly to Tom Cruise. The architecture is a love letter to Seville: a fusion of Arabic, Castilian, and Gothic influences, woven together with artisanal precision.

Each of the 151 rooms and suites is an extension of this aesthetic, designed with rich tapestries, handcrafted wooden furniture, and bathrooms clad in marble. The Royal Suite, occupying an entire wing, offers soaring ceilings, museum-worthy antiques, and a private terrace overlooking Seville’s rooftops.

Flavors That Define a Destination

Seville’s culinary heritage is an intoxicating mix of tradition and innovation, and Alfonso XIII plays its part with an almost theatrical sense of occasion.

• San Fernando, the hotel’s courtyard restaurant, reinterprets classic Andalusian flavors. Start with salmorejo so velvety it could pass for an art form, followed by Iberian pork slow-cooked to perfection.
• Americano Bar feels like a scene from a Hemingway novel—dark wood, plush leather, and a cocktail menu that spans from sherry-infused negronis to champagne spritzers made for sultry Sevillan nights.
• For something truly special, the afternoon tea is a fusion of European refinement and Andalusian indulgence, where delicate pastries are paired with rare regional sherries.

Beyond the Hotel: Seville at Your Feet

The beauty of Alfonso XIII isn’t just in its walls—it’s in its location. Positioned at the edge of the city’s historic core, the hotel places you within arm’s reach of Seville’s most enchanting landmarks:

• The Alcázar of Seville, a Moorish palace that feels plucked from a fairytale, with tilework and gardens that rival the Alhambra.
• The Giralda Tower, where a winding ascent rewards you with one of the most breathtaking panoramas in Spain.
• The maze-like streets of Barrio Santa Cruz, where hidden patios, orange-scented air, and impromptu flamenco performances create an atmosphere impossible to replicate.

For those seeking something beyond the obvious, the hotel arranges private Andalusian wine tastings, immersive cooking classes, and bespoke excursions to hidden gems across the region. Whether it’s a horseback ride through the Doñana National Park or an intimate dinner inside a centuries-old bodega, Alfonso XIII ensures your Seville experience is nothing short of extraordinary.

More Than a Stay—A Chapter in Your Story

Great hotels don’t just provide comfort; they transform your journey. Alfonso XIII is a destination in itself—where mornings begin with Spanish guitar drifting through the courtyard, afternoons are spent sipping fino under the shade of citrus trees, and evenings unfold like a scene from a classic film.

If Seville is a city that stays with you, then Alfonso XIII is the hotel that makes sure you never forget why.
