Where to Stay in Seville? – In Search of the Best Hotels

Hotel Fernando III

Situated right at the heart of Seville in the Santa Cruz neighbourhood, the Hotel Fernando III is one of the city’s most iconic hotels, renowned for its modern and cosy rooms, and also for its rooftop terrace, where guests can swim in the pool and enjoy unbeatable views over the city.

Customer service is flawless, and although the hotel restaurant is a great place to eat, our recommendation is that you try an appetiser from the terrace menu, because there are plenty of wonderful options for lunch or dinner in Seville in general, and in the Santa Cruz neighbourhood in particular.

In terms of prices, you can find rooms ranging from 95 euros  to 445 euros. The top-end options are apartments that enjoy direct access to the hotel terrace

This iconic hotel is also located in the Santa Cruz neighborhood, near the Giralda. Here, you can relax, disconnect from the outside world and enjoy beautiful views over Seville.
Just like the previous option, a particular highlight of this hotel is the outdoor swimming pool, which is open from June to September – the months when visitors to Seville most appreciate a refreshing dip!
Regarding room prices, these can vary according to factors such as size, whether breakfast is included and the number of guests. In general prices range between 90 and 235 euros.

EME Catedral Mercer

A five-star hotel, located in the Santa Cruz neighbourhood. The EME Catedral Mercer  enjoys a particularly privileged spot: it’s right in front of the Cathedral! Its spectacular terrace, which is open all year round, offers the best views in Seville of the Cathedral and the Giralda.

The hotel boasts a spectacular outdoor swimming pool and beautiful gardens where guests can relax.
Of the various restaurants contained within the hotel, we recommend the Taifas restaurant by the pool for informal dinners. However, if you are only spending a short time in Seville, we suggest that the best option is to dine out.
