Top 3 original hotels in Seville

The hotel is designed by one of the most renowned interior designers today, Lázaro Rosa Violán. The designer incorporates upholstery, wood and tiles in the rooms, creating a cozy but at the same time very elegant and groundbreaking atmosphere.

Andalusian touches can also be seen in the white, black and yellow-albero hues. Rosa Violán maintains the characteristics of the typical Sevillian home and gives it a very contemporary feel. The mix result is ​​spectacular.

The artistic and multicultural experience goes beyond the room itself. The buffet breakfast is accessed through an exceptional Andalusian patio, with a central pool decorated with tiles and surrounded by plants. It’s undoubtedly one of the most representative places of this modern hotel.

It’s also worth highlighting its commitment to energy efficiency, using the latest technology in air conditioning and in Sanitary Hot Water.

The accommodation is articulated around a most traditional structure in Seville: the neighbors’ corral (typical Sevillian patio). Although it’s a typical residence of more popular and genuine neighborhoods such as Triana, the truth is that you can also find some in the city center.

The hotel establishment is the oldest in Santiago Street and its fame never went unnoticed. In fact, the ‘corral’ appears in Richard Ford’s ‘Hand-book for Travelers in Spain’. It’s said that the particular name of the accommodation is due to the fact that the facility belonged to the Count-Duke of Olivares, favourite of King Philip IV, and that around four thousand people came to live here.

Unfortunately, over the last few years they have been disappearing from Seville at a dramatic rate. That’s why, today, visiting a ‘corral’ is a privilege.

Thanks to a series of interventions, the complex magnificently preserves its external structure and maintains its aesthetics, while the interior has been reconditioned to meet housing requirements. Staying here is traveling back in time with the comforts of today. A very unique place that will make your stay very personal.

It’s said that in this kind of community flamenco was born back in the 16th century. This type of property, of medieval origin, is a faithful reflection of the day to day in those times where domestic life used to be indoors. Neighbours did much of their housework in the yard, as kitchens, laundry, and other services were in common use. It was customary that, once the day was over, they would meet there in the evenings to chat, sing and dance.

With its shed-roofs, wooden galleries, and the layout of its L-shaped patio full of vegetation, the reforms have fulfilled their purpose of preserving the spirit and essence of this century-old residence. The place reminds an old open air theater, where Comedias (a three act play combining dramatic and comic elements) used to be played in Seville at that time.
