What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The building itself, a restored palace, exudes historic charm with its wrought-iron balconies, traditional tilework, and romantic archways.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Calle Gravina sits in Casco Antiguo, minutes on foot from the Museum of Fine Arts and the Guadalquivir River.
The rooms
Bedrooms have gilded canopied beds and glazed tile floors, and select rooms open onto patios with climbing bougainvillea.
At the table
Breakfast tables sit beneath exposed brick arches, and Bar 51 pours Andalusian wines over its dark marble counter.
How it began
Two joined 1919 residences built for Seville nobility take their name from Spanish naval commander Federico Gravina.
