A sublime city, a lovely hotel. You’re in the old town with a palace on one side of a cobbled square and a whitewashed church on another. Step inside and crisp, contemporary interiors seduce immediately. Impeccable rooms, airy sitting rooms and a rooftop swimming pool all elate, but it’s the 3 courtyards that take the biscuit. Old ceramic pots and mill stones are scattered about, colour spills from flowerbeds, stone pillars flank the sides and steps lead up to cloistered walkways that wrap around above. A great place to eat at any time.
Inside, the style is warmly chic: smart, but you feel at home. In the dining room, a wall of glass looks onto a tiny courtyard shaded by banana trees. Sitting rooms are adorned with modern art, leather sofas and perhaps the odd occupied Victorian birdcage. You sleep on starched linen in charming rooms, the best of which have French windows that open onto the square. Delightful.
Highs
- The whole place is gorgeous, with lots of relaxing corners, but the courtyards are hard to beat
- We loved chilling at the tiny rooftop pool and wellness area, with views across Seville's terracotta skyline
- A convenient, quiet location – the Old Town's labyrinthine alleyways are just round the corner, the Catedral and Alcazar are a 10-minute walk
Lows
- Rooms are expensive, but we feel they're worth it
- Some rooms are quite dark due to their windows opening onto the interior courtyard
- The lower level rooms can be noisy, particularly those around the courtyard. Try to get a top floor room if you can
Best time to go
Spring and Autumn are the main tourist seasons in Seville. Summer can become extremely hot. In August the locals head to the coast and much of the city closes.
Our top tips
To make the most of the birthplace of flamenco, come during the festivals in September and October, or in April for the week long Feria: women parade in colourful dresses, men ride immaculately groomed horses and everyone parties 'til dawn.
Location
Hospes Las Casas del Rey de Baeza is well located in the northern limits of the Barrio de Santa Cruz, in central Seville, Andalucia. It's a 10-15 minute walk to the Catedral.
By Air
Seville San Pablo (9km) is the closest airport. You could also fly into Jerez (95km) or Madrid (550km). A regular bus service runs into town for Seville Airport, but a taxi is quite reasonable.
By Car
We wouldn't recommend driving a car in Seville; lanes are narrow, parking difficult and it's easy to get lost. But if you want to hire a car, there is a limited number of parking spaces at the hotel (daily charge and best booked in advance). Tesla chargers are available on-site.
By Train
The Spanish high speed trains are excellent: the AVE trains operate on the Madrid-Cordoba-Seville route (it takes only 2.5 hours from Madrid). Many other routes are available.

This beautiful Hotel is in the old town and just a short walk from the centre, the Cathedral, the Alcazar etc. When we were there the orange trees in the courtyard at the entrance to the hotel were laden with fruit, making a beautiful entry to the hotel. We loved our stay here, the staff were unbelievably friendly and helpful, our room was pretty and very comfortable and it was wonderful to have a bath as well as a shower in the spacious bathroom. There are very attractive and comfortable sitting rooms and a pretty courtyard which unfortunately we could not take advantage of as it was January. It was quite cold in the evenings and therefore we ate in the hotel both evenings and had a delicious dinner both times with excellent recommendations for local wines. I took advantage of the i-escape special gift of a 20 euro discount in the spa and had an excellent facial. I would definitely stay here again if we were to come back to Seville.
Great location and character. Staff friendly, very helpful and impressively efficient.
Hotel is great in all aspects, it local to the bars and restaurants most of the historic building and gardens. The staff are very attentive and helpful offering advise on attractions etc. The room was superb and the terrace bar and pool would’ve been great should the weather of allowed. ( well it is March). Breakfast was well stocked with lots of choices. Would definitely return to hotel .
10/10 on all counts - and if I could give 11/10 for the breakfast, I would! With thanks to you all for a great recommendation.
This is a stunning boutique hotel situated just outside the Jewish Quarter in Seville. Every detail has been thought off and there is a distinct feeling of personal service in all areas of the hotel. The interiors are in keeping with the stylish courtyard layout of the hotel and the rooftop pool/ bar are idyllic in the middle of a steaming hot city! Seville is a fabulous city to visit and this hotel is the perfect place to come back to and relax after a day sightseeing.
This is a charming hotel near the old part of Seville (the cathedral is only a 10-minute walk through the beautiful narrow streets). The room we had was nice and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooftop pool was blissful after getting hot walking around the city. But please note, there is currently a construction site next door and the drilling started at 7 am. We were pretty relaxed about this but I know another couple requested a change of room. The advice here is to choose a room on the higher floors to avoid reception noise but we were on the second floor! A lovely hotel but could have been even better!
