Hotel Alfonso XIII, Seville
Expert reviews
“No question about it, this is the swankiest address in town. Hotel Alfonso XIII is a palace built for King Alfonso XIII of Spain to host important guests when Seville hosted its great exhibition in 1929.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Seville.
“Inaugurated by King Alfonso XIII in 1929 when he visited the World’s Fair, this grand hotel next to the university is a splendid, historic, Mudejar-style palace, built around a central patio and surrounded by ornate brick arches. Classic meets modern throughout the hotel, which has been graciously restored over the years.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Seville.
“This magnificent landmark hotel framed by palm trees is a much-loved piece of Seville’s history. With lamps bearing crowns and regal beds, you could say it’s fit for a king or queen. It’s also one of only two five-star Gran Lujo hotels in the city, and offers on-site cooking courses and wine tastings.”

Excellent hotel in great location.
Beautiful old hotel, full of stylish historic interiors. Staff are friendly and helpful. Excellent location with valet parking..which is a plus in Seville! Easy walking distance to the Cathedral and the centre.

Great hotel in a fantastic city.
Excellent location for the wonderful City of Seville. The breakfast buffet was sumptuous and the room was very comfortable. We hired a car and had to pay 30 Euros per day for parking in the hotel, which was a waste as we did not use it for 5 days!!! Maybe a taxi to the hotel would have been more sensible.
Hotel was very good and you pay a high price for it. Would always be better if you can access a deal.

Luxury hotel with a fantastic location close to the Old Town and
The hotel offered a complimentary tour of the hotel with focus on the history and art. Very interesting.
The servicing of the room (on the Sunday we stayed) didn´t take place until nearly 5pm (just when we returned to the room). We had been out since 9am but there was no sign to hang on the door to show that housekeeping could take place.

Prime location with great pool area
Beautiful hotel in a prime location. Beautiful rooms and great staff. Good size pool Lady in American bar lovely and very helpful Door staff excellent and very helpful
Requested early entry to room as we arrived via plane at 10am. This did not happen and the phonecall we were promised didn't materialise. The swimming pool was freezing. Accept it is February but it really is cold. However great for dealing with knee swelling after a lot of walking. Requested balcony which we were given but doors were locked with no key available. Not sure very safe if there had been a fire Bar closed at 8pm and staff very quick to remove you. Seemed a bit early. On the expensive side as a hotel

Location, location, location cannot do any better in the amazing city of Seville. Hotel feels like you are staying in a palace. Breakfast, room, grounds, views, everything was amazing.
Hotel is expensive but have to treat yourself once in a while, you deserve it.

Opulent and in a superb location with super friendly staff to assist.
Fantastic service from reception (Tomaz) and concierge services. Briiliant recommendations and all just right. Hotel close to all that we wanted to see and so quiet; just the clip clop of horses in the early morning. Perfect!

My reservation did not pop up immediately on their system and they had to dig in further. But they were very professional and pleasant about it. The situation could have turned out to be awkward (experienced this in other hotels) but everything panned out well and feathers were not ruffled. All the staff, from housekeeping to the restaurant waiting staff, were very accommodating and had a ready smile. Breakfast was very good and dinner was excellent and surprisingly affordable. Location was excellent. Our stay there made our Christmas holiday magical

Grand luxury in the heart of Seville
Location and facilities, a grand and well renowned hotel in Seville. Wonderful building with a central courtyard, terrace, and gardens. Room was spacious.
Our room did get some noise because there was a service area underneath and it did look out over the car park. Wasn’t the cheapest room, so lost a mark on that. Also some damage to the bath and done bathroom fittings meant could not give a 10
