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.

My stay here was better than expected, definitely will stay here again
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

A lovely base to explore a beautiful city from
A beautiful old building which has been comprehensively refurbished
Not enough light in the entrance to our room where the coffee making area is situated.

Excellence personified
Beautiful building full of history and character set in a perfect location just a short walk to the city centre. The staff were exceptionally good, friendly and helpful and could not do enough for you. The breakfasts were simply superb with enormous choice. This is one of the few hotels we have stayed in where we cannot find fault with anything. Expensive, but as they say ‘you get what you pay for’.
Nothing at all

Exquisite and unique property. Staff were fantastic and beds extremely comfortable.
It can be a little bit noisy, but to be honest that just adds to the atmosphere.

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

Rooms were very comfortable and services great. Well done renovations and turn around of the palace to a hotel.
We had dinner at the restaurant the day of arrival but this did not meet our expectations.

Fabulous
Within easy walking distace of city centre. A very atmospheric hotel to stay in. Very friendly staff.
The bar is very limited in that there is limited seating and the bar attendant is serving in other parts of the hotel at the same time so you do have long waits to place an order, or sign for your drinks. For some reason, our room keys stipped working before our check-out time on the final day (never had this happen before) which was quite frustrating.

Extra comfort bed. Beautiful hotel. Very clean. Luxury suites. Very good service and staff.
Parking on the facility, but you pay 30 euros a day to have the car parked at the hotel. The last day my car was very dirty because it stayed outside.

An excellent place to stay in a district of the old city of Seville.
The front-of-house staff at CoolRooms Palacio Villapanés were exceptional in their friendliness, courtesy and assistance during our stay. They made themselves readily available to assist and responded to requests promptly and efficiently. I was travelling with an elderly relative and - where there are a short series of steps inside the front entrance - to avoid those steps, they offered to escort us to a rear door onto a side street to take taxis which they had summoned for us. The furnishings and fixtures in rooms are of a very high standard and everything worked well.

Seville Weekend Getaway
Super hotel, very traditional style and very comfortable with super friendly and helpful staff. The location is absolutely perfect to walk around the city, we also hired bikes and did a 3 hour private Bike tour which was so much fun.
Nothing, it was a great weekend.

Fantastic Hotel in Beautiful Seville
The CoolRooms is a beautiful hotel, the rooms are nicely decorated retaining much of the hotels historic charm. It is an amazing building, with external atrium areas (bit chilly during our visit in Jan), which lend to the character. All of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We stayed over New Year and had dinner on NY Eve which was excellent. I have got to mention the rooftop area which gave us some very welcome winter sunshine after our days exploring the fantastic city of Seville.

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful historical hotel, you can reach everything within 14min walk.
welcome, afternoon local treat (chocolates etc.), wellness space, gym, the location, christmas decoration, the view from our room, the view from the rooftop, the quality fo the cocktails, the garden/terras/ the bar, the entrance, the service of the cleaners.
the bathroom has no extraction, the bathroom walls + doors needed a deep cleaning, there were not enough hooks for the bathrobes & towels, they didn't mentioned my birthday during my stay.
