CoolRooms Palacio Villapanés, Seville
Expert reviews
“The 50-room Hotel Palacio Villapanés is a converted 18th-century Sevillian baroque palace with lacelike iron gates and a traditional open, marble-pillared courtyard that doubles as a palm garden and cocktail lounge. Rooms feature wooden flooring and fluffy white duvets and a minibar with all of its contents free, including fizzy sangria in a bottle.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Seville.
“Located a 15-minute walk from Seville’s treasured cathedral, Royal Alcázar and The Archive of the Indies, Palacio de Villapanés feels both off-the-beaten-track and close to the city’s sights. It’s also a rare marriage of bygone grandeur and high-end 21st-century exclusivity.”
Won the CN Johansens Award for Best Value Experience in 2021.
“Who wouldn’t want to stay in an 18th-century palace with gorgeous contemporary designer furniture? Excellent service, beautiful patios and chic rooms designed for elegant lounging, as well as a rooftop pool and bar, make this one of Seville’s most effortlessly stylish choices.”

All you need to know
What was once an 18th-century mansion is now the Palacio Villapanes, one of Seville’s most stylish boutique hotels. This structure is an ideal example of the Mudejar style, and the building’s original features have been left intact as much as possible. Trendy furnishings and bold colors have occasionally been added to provide a touch of contemporary style.
Comprising 50 rooms, this hotel has four rooms to choose from: the Deluxe Room, Premium, Palacio, and Suite. Each room accommodates two guests, but as you upgrade, the square footage increases with an added sitting area. Suites offer separate living spaces and iMac computers. Some rooms come with balconies and city views. Each room includes WiFi, flatscreen TVs, high-end toiletries, air conditioning, and mini-fridges.
Each guest of Palacia Villapanes will receive a complimentary welcome drink and access to the wellness area, which includes a gym, sauna, Turkish bath, massages, and other spa treatments. The hotel restaurant, Lost Roncones Del Marques, serves authentic Andalusian cuisine and is open 24 hours a day. There is also an onsite bar, a courtyard, a roof terrace, and a garden patio, so lovely spaces for relaxation abound.
Coolrooms Palacio Villapanes is situated near several attractions, including the Indias Archive Building, Bario de Santa Cruz, and the Contemporary Art Museum. Alcazar Palace and the Cathedral are only about a 12-minute walk, and the metro station is a 13-minute walk, so the entire city will be at your fingertips.

Quiet intimate and extra comfortable
A beautiful building. Very comfortable room. The best shower ever invented. Extra quiet, away from central hubbub. But a leisurely 10-15 min walk to all the attractions. The staff was very attentive.
Would go there again.

Just to point out a small detail: the bed is too soft (but this is just very subjective :) )

Oh my gosh - what a wonderful place to stay!! Felt like a princess. Staff was amazing. Beds were unbelievably comfy. Location is outstanding. Food and snack areas were wonderful. Outside space is so charming. Rooms were beautiful. We didn't not do the breakfast there as it was an add-on.

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!
We both loved everything about this place. I would love to go back. The staff were fantastic and went above and beyond their roles. I cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you to all the staff at the hotel xx
I feel the breakfast was overpriced but given you could have as much as you like it would be great for those who can keep eating alot. The choice of the breakfast menu was fantastic though and the ingredients were fresh and delicious.

Beautiful stay, and a room with lots of little luxurious touches - including robes, chocolates, and a great shower. Staff were accommodating and kind. Felt 5 star.
Service was a little slow in the bar area/not staffed, but that’s to be expected with a boutique hotel.

Highly recommend this high end place
Historic building and beautifully restored architecture. Great location, 10-15mn walk from cathedral, perfect and quiet. Breakfast was wonderful and high quality. Bar looked amazing but didn’t get enough time to try. The pool is tiny however the top floor overlooking the spectacular views over the city. Absolutely stunning!

A peaceful, delightful haven.
Firstly, we were greeted at our car before we had even entered this magnificent hotel - and upon entering we were again greeted so warmly. From the decor, the splendor, the attention to detail, the friendly and professional service, the location - all was truely wonderful. We will indeed return.

Stunning hotel, highly recommend
Couldn’t have asked for a better location, just a short 5-10 minute walk from all main sights, restaurants etc. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. The courtyard, bar and lounge were all absolutely beautiful, and the hotel itself was stunning.
The plunge pool was smaller than expected, however absolutely fine for a quick dip to cool off.

The garden was our favorite place in the hotel. The room was perfect, very confortable and relaxing.
The roof area was very small and the gym area also is small even though it has the equipment to do a basic routine which is fine

Lovely and cosy
The beds were extremely comfortable! and the cleanliness of the rooms were amazing. The space and size of the rooms were fab, and loved having a large TV in the bedroom for late evenings.
There was no bed side menu to call down to reception too, so you didn't know which number to call (for example making a reservation for the restaurant or calling room service, that information was not clear. The lights in all rooms were very confusing and you couldn't have the bathroom light on without having all of the other main light switches on.

A delightful hotel that surprises you from the moment you walk in and never stops
A really nice boutique hotel. The service we received from all of the team was always attentive, even in responding to queries, requests, as well as making reservations and providing a list of local restaurants. The hotel is in a quiet location which is perfect to unwind at then end of the day and yet walking distance to the cathedral and the centre.
If I had to be picky, it would be that the lighting in the living area of our bedroom, could be brighter, rather than relying on some wall lights and a lamp.

Wonderful stay, wonderful staff, wonderful Seville.
Breakfast was a delight with a good menu and served to you hot and fresh, wonderful .
More coffee in the room, this is being petty because if asked for more coffee it was delivered to your room, but it would have been good to have it there.

Amazing place with fantastic staff and service
The best staff - always so friendly and accommodating, which is not what we experienced elsewhere in Seville, even in top-rated places. Amazing history of the place. Also quality of food is amazing- we came back after a disappointing dinner elsewhere because we had dined so well here before and second time did not disappoint.
Na- it was great. Just be aware it’s a 15mim walk from the “tourist centre”, though still in the old town

We had dinner at the restaurant the day of arrival but this did not meet our expectations.
