CoolRooms Palacio Villapanés
Seville, Spain
Casco Antiguo
Vibe
Wrought-iron gates lead into marble-columned courtyards shaded by orange trees, where eighteenth-century noble heritage meets relaxed Andalusian calm.
“Baroque palace hideaway”
An 18th-century noble palace featuring preserved baroque archways, original marble columns, and a protected cultural landmark designation.
Minimalist contemporary furnishings blend with restored wooden coffered ceilings, deep-set windows, and classic Mudéjar-influenced stone courtyards.
High-touch boutique service complemented by Molton Brown toiletries, Bang & Olufsen sound systems, and expansive palace suites.
In Seville's historic Santa Cruz quarter, a short walk from the Casa de Pilatos and cathedral.
“Historical authenticity meets contemporary style, not just in the fifty guest rooms but in the restaurant as well…”
Rooms
Minimalist furnishings balance original coffered ceilings and deep windows, while the dome-set Torreón Suite features a freestanding bath under timber vaults.
“Each room’s aesthetic is minimalist in the best sense: clean lines, thoughtful materials, nothing superfluous.”
Wellness
A rooftop plunge pool overlooks cathedral spires, while the subterranean spa houses a hammam, Finnish sauna, ice fountain, and heated loungers.
Backstory
Built in 1729 for Admiral López-Pintado, the protected baroque palace still displays the marquis's family crest above the grand staircase.
Eat & drink
Los Rincones del Marqués serves inventive Andalusian tapas in the courtyard, complemented by weekend brunches beneath the Patio de los Naranjos.
The neighborhood
Tucked onto quiet Calle Santiago, the palace sits a short walk from Casa de Pilatos and the buzzing tapas bars of Santa Cruz.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
