Located in Seville’s historical centre, in the
emblematic La Macarena district, close to the Basilica, the Alcoba
del Rey de Sevilla hotel is an exclusive, charming boutique hotel, set
in
the remains of what was once an ancient Mudejar palace, skilfully
restored into a delightful residence with every modern amenity while retaining
its old historic charm. New and elegant, this enchanting hotel
where hosts can buy everything they can see, is inspired in the
Seville of Al-Andalus, the most splendid periods of the
Seville's history. A sober and elegant facade gives way
to an explosion of colours in the inside, with a central Andalucia patio, surrounded by different
chambers decorated with
handmade materials used in Seville 8 centuries ago, and
still carefully manufactured in Morocco where the old techniques of
Andalusia craft are still practised. The guestrooms are all different
and uniquely decorated with canopy beds, carved headboards,
doors with horseshoe arches, silk and cotton clothes, the
scent of the furniture made on cedar, handmade basins made
on polished brass and Victorian taps brought from India.
Bearing the names of famous poets or other important historical figures who were born, lived or developed their best works in Seville,
all except one
ground floor room, have exterior windows or balconies, offering plenty of
natural light.
Whether it is the decoration, the water from the fountain,
the scents and the flavour of the Moorish tapas or the large roof top terrace
which provides views of the
surrounding park, old city walls and the Macarena church,
hosts at Alcoba del Rey are introduced a climate of relax and pleasure, that counteracts the
stress caused by the city. |
