The boho-chic hotel with pool and stylish cafe that’s perfect for city break – and located in Spanish hot spot for food

FANCY cool pool vibes in a Spanish hot spot for food and culture?

Sí, says senior writer Donna Smiley.

THE LOWDOWN 

In a prime spot opposite Santa Justa train station and a mere 15-minute drive from the airport, the Mediterranean-meets-Arabic interiors of this new hotel are gorgeous. 

An in-house florist adds to the chic boho vibe, plus you’re just a 20-minute stroll from Seville’s historic centre and seconds from rustic neighbourhood bars, cafes and restaurants.

WHAT WE LOVED 

The powerful shower with luxe Codage toiletries, the huge French windows drenching the bedrooms in sunlight and the Picasso-inspired decor all impress.

There are animal-print dressing gowns, hair straighteners and Nespresso coffee machines, too.

A top-notch breakfast buffet, £22 per person, includes cooked-to-perfection eggs benedict and a barista bar whipping up specialist coffees.

The pool is also a win, surrounded by tropical palms and crochet umbrellas, and where a glass of white wine will only set you back £3.50.

We’re also fans of the stylish cafe – cappuccinos are served in cute china cups and the massive, to-die-for almond and apple cake, £3, is made by award-winning bakery Manu Jara.

WHAT WE DIDN’T LOVE

The outdoor swimming pool is pretty tiny for a 209-room hotel, so space for soaking up rays is limited.

OUT AND ABOUT

Get up early to join the Alone In The Alcázar: Exclusive Early Access Tour at the Royal Alcázar.

You’ll wander around the stunning palace and gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where Game Of Thrones was filmed, before the crowds arrive.
