What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Marriot has sensitively restored the former headquarters of Banco Andalucía to transform the historic property into the Querencia de Sevilla, Autograph Collection.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Cathedral and the Giralda tower sit just around the corner, surrounded by the narrow lanes of the Casco Antiguo.
The rooms
Moorish latticework and fan motifs shape the rooms, and select suites open onto private balconies over the old town.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Yellow checkered tiles line the seventh-floor plunge pool, surrounded by loungers looking out over the old town rooftops.
The gym
Stationary spin bikes and free weights line the fitness room, which stays open around the clock.
Restaurant
La Maestría
Woven wicker bull heads hang above banquettes in the second-floor dining room, where menus center on classic Andalusian cooking.
At the table
El Mirador mixes cocktails behind a chevron-tiled rooftop counter. Downstairs, a second bar serves Andalusian sherries from yellow velvet stools.
How it began
Its name means a place where one feels grounded, guiding the conversion of the Banco de Andalucía headquarters into hotel quarters.
