Centre (Sevilla)

Casa del Poeta

To be in the heart of the action: this small hotel is on a street connecting the cathedral and Plaza Nueva, and close to innumerable tapas bars and restaurants. It has pretty rooms with lots of character, friendly staff, and good prices. Those of independent mind who don't need all the bells and whistles of five (or even four)-star service, but who want an excellent location and interiors with style.

Los Seises Sevilla (formerly Hotel Fontecruz)

This hotel is tucked away down a side-street, which means it doesn’t have the bustling ambience of those on the main drag, though it’s only a stone’s throw away. As soon as you walk in, you realise it is very much modern in style, with black and white photos of film stars on the wall, a black marble reception and fluffy white hanging lights.

Hotel Gran Melia Colon

A long-standing favourite with bullfighters, the Colon was originally built for the 1929 Expo, and was recently revamped. It now boasts contemporary furniture (Philippe Stark), and a bordello-ish white, red, gold and black colour scheme. The velvet chairs and sofas in the round lobby.

Hotel NH Plaza de Armas

Handily located, this large hotel is not far from the main shopping area, very close to the Bellas Artes museum, and opposite (literally) the only cinema in Seville which shows films in English. If you’re heading east out of town, either by bus or car, then this is the best place to stay, as you’re minutes from the motorway and less than an hour from Huelva beaches and El Rocio, while Portugal’s not much further.

Hotel Inglaterra

Overlooking Plaza Nueva Square, the elegant Hotel Inglaterra is just 250 metres from Seville Cathedral. Its air-conditioned rooms feature classic-style décor, and include a private balcony and flat-screen satellite TV.

The spacious rooms at Hotel Inglaterra have wooden floors and a safe. The marble bathrooms include amenities.
