What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
From the street the hotel appears utterly traditional, a whitewashed 18th-century house in the traditional style, in the midst of Seville’s historic district.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Santa Catalina's quiet alleys surround the plaza, and the undulating wooden canopy of Las Setas is ten minutes away on foot.
The rooms
Inward-facing rooms look down over the central patios, shaded by traditional esparto grass blinds against the midday heat.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A rooftop plunge pool sits on the wooden sun deck, looking out across terracotta roof tiles and whitewashed chimneys.
At the table
Restaurante Azahar serves Andalusian cooking in its coffered dining room and out at wrought-iron courtyard tables.
How it began
The building began in the eighteenth century as a communal tenement, housing multiple local families around shared central courtyards.
