The 9 Best Luxury Hotels in Seville

In Seville, the pool is almost always on the roof, with a view of the Giralda and the Cathedral. Most of these pools are made for cooling off and sunbathing, and up there the evening often begins with a sunset drink.Querencia de Sevilla · Casco AntiguoOverlooking the Cathedral: for sweeping views all around, we recommend the Querencia de Sevilla, whose pool sits on a 700 m² roof terrace. At Serras Seville, the 7th-floor pool is reserved for hotel guests, directly across from the Cathedral. On the roof of Los Seises Seville, about 150 meters from the Giralda, four-poster daybeds line the pool.

Around the Magdalena: the Gran Meliá Colón Seville has a heated boutique pool on its roof, 16 m² in size and 80 cm deep, usable all year, with views of the Cathedral and the Magdalena church. If you want a 5-star hotel in Seville with a solarium, book the Magdalena Plaza Seville Radisson Collection Hotel: its rooftop pool sits on a landscaped terrace above the old town.

Small and private: at Hospes Las Casas del Rey de Baeza Sevilla, an outdoor pool is part of the rooftop spa; at the Cavalta Boutique Hotel Seville in Triana, a plunge pool belongs to the Alzalí Garden Club, with views over the city skyline.

In the garden: instead of above the rooftops, you swim surrounded by greenery at the Hotel Alfonso XIII Seville: its garden pool with a pool bar is open in summer, right in the middle of the city.

Hotel spas in Seville are small and personal, and they are often on the roof. For couples, we recommend the Spa Bodyna at Hospes Las Casas del Rey de Baeza Sevilla: above the old town, it offers personalized massages, sensory rituals and facials with Bodyna natural cosmetics, plus an outdoor pool. It is open daily from noon to 9 pm.Gran Meliá Colón Seville · City CentreAt the Gran Meliá Colón Seville, the wellness area is on the roof as well: the Wellness Spa by Clarins has a sauna, a Turkish bath and a contrast shower, with massages and beauty treatments by Clarins Paris. The Magdalena Plaza Seville Radisson Collection Hotel, a 5-star hotel on Plaza de la Magdalena, offers treatment rooms and a sauna. At the Hotel Alfonso XIII Seville, you will find a sauna, a gym and massages on request.

Prices start at 159 € at Los Seises Seville and go up to 358 € at the Hotel Alfonso XIII Seville. Thompson Seville is set to open in late 2026. You will find all nine hotels with their current prices in the hotel list further down, too.

What is included everywhere: daily breakfast for two, served as a buffet in the Majestic restaurant at the Gran Meliá Colón Seville, as a buffet in Restaurante San Fernando at the Hotel Alfonso XIII Seville and at Eneko Basque in the Magdalena Plaza Seville Radisson Collection Hotel. On top of that, every hotel offers an upgrade subject to availability.

When the benefits apply: at eight of the nine luxury hotels in Seville from the first night, at the Cavalta Boutique Hotel Seville from two nights. The upgrade is usually granted on arrival; at Thompson Seville it is confirmed at booking, though not from a room to a suite.

The hotel credit is worth a closer look. Serras Seville and the Gran Meliá Colón Seville add 100 US dollars for food and drinks, as does the Magdalena Plaza Seville Radisson Collection Hotel, though not in every rate; the Cavalta Boutique Hotel Seville gives 50 US dollars.

Extras at individual luxury hotels: at the Hotel Alfonso XIII Seville, the credit does not apply to room service and the minibar, but from the Premium Suite and a two-night stay another 100 US dollars come on top. At Hospes Las Casas del Rey de Baeza Sevilla, a fruit basket with chocolates and cava awaits you in your room, and in the suites champagne or manzanilla with Serrano ham and cheese.

Points and status can be earned at eight of the nine hotels. Marriott Bonvoy applies at four of them, such as Hospes Las Casas del Rey de Baeza Sevilla and the Hotel Alfonso XIII Seville; add I Prefer at Serras Seville, the Leaders Club at the Gran Meliá Colón Seville, Radisson Rewards and World of Hyatt.

Seville through the seasons: in spring the orange blossoms scent the air, and during Semana Santa and the Feria de Abril the city is in a festive mood; for those dates, book early. In summer, the afternoons belong to the rooftop pools and the long nights to the terraces; in winter, the lanes belong to those out for a stroll.

How long to stay: for a 5-star hotel in Seville, we recommend three nights: one for the Cathedral and the Alcázar, one for Triana and the river, one for the Plaza de España.
