The Top 11 Hotels Near El Espejo - Sanlúcar
-
-
Horses still outnumber cars on the sandy streets of El Rocío, which tells you something about what kind of place this is. La Malvasía is a rustic-feeling hotel on the edge of Doñana National Park, with timber ceilings, tiled floors, and mornings that begin with migratory birds rather than an alarm. The marsh is right there, the beach is close, and the pace is the kind you have to actively resist.
-
Cavalta sits in Triana, across the Guadalquivir from the cathedral and Alcázar crowds, in the neighborhood that gave the world flamenco. A 12-room boutique hotel in a corner building with wrought-iron balconies and ceramic tilework, it holds a Michelin Key. Rooms run simple and modern, exposed brick, wood floors, a pop of emerald green here and there. The rooftop garden, pool, and cocktail bar are where things loosen up, and the on-site restaurant draws locals as well as guests.
-
Twelve rooms and suites arranged around a sun-washed central patio, riad-style, in a 19th-century building that somehow also has Japanese toilets and very good modern furniture. This boutique hotel holds a Michelin Key, and the contrast between the ornate architecture and the spare contemporary fit-out is more interesting than it sounds. The rooftop pool and its views over Seville's rooftops are the obvious draw; the small restaurant punches above its size.
-
Twelve rooms in a converted townhouse on a hilltop in Andalusia, with views that allegedly reach Tangier on a clear day. Hotel Boutique V fills those rooms with Portuguese antiques and contemporary lines, then sends everyone to the roof terrace, where a jacuzzi does most of the heavy social lifting. The kind of place that attracts a quietly stylish crowd who found it and told no one, or at least very few people.
-
Six rooms is all Plaza 18 offers, so getting in requires some planning. This boutique hotel occupies a 19th-century merchant's house in whitewashed Vejer de la Frontera, and the design pedigree shows throughout. Breakfast comes from local farms and lands in the garden; afternoons bring mint tea and Moroccan cakes in a living room hung with art. The terrace catches mountain views. It feels less like a hotel than staying with friends who happen to have excellent taste.
-
Seven rooms, each named for a different Andalusian landmark, fill this small boutique hotel in Triana, one of Seville's most characterful neighborhoods. The décor runs to bold color and ornate detail throughout, though the top-floor room earns its premium with a private terrace and views of the Church of Santa Ana. Vispring mattresses and a Passivhaus certification, solar power and all, keep things quietly comfortable. Breakfast is abundant; the rest of Seville handles dinner.
-
A rooftop pool and a ground-floor tapas bar frame the stay at this cool, white boutique hotel wedged between the Guadalquivir and the Murillo Gardens. The interiors dial down Seville's heat with clean walls and let the color in through patterned headboards and local artwork. Some rooms come with freestanding bathtubs, others with Juliet balconies, and the cathedral and Royal Alcázar are both a short walk off.
-
The grand dame of Sevilla hotels sits near the cathedral in a palace built for a king, literally, with Moorish tilework, chandeliers, marble floors, and mahogany enough to make you feel underdressed in the lobby. The inner courtyard is where Restaurante San Fernando serves Spanish classics under arched windows, while Bar Americano handles cocktail hour in Art Deco style. The whole place has the uncanny quality of a city that peaked glamorously and never entirely came back down.
-
A hanging sculpture of an elephant being carried by hot air balloon sets the tone for this adults-only design hotel just off the old city center. Rooms lean into deep greys and painted stone, then pivot with vintage furniture and colorful canvases by Spanish artist Balcris. The rooftop infinity pool looks out over Sevilla's skyline, and the domed Atico Hall shakes cocktails underneath what might be the city's most theatrical ceiling.
-
Sections of Seville's original Islamic walls are visible right in the lobby, which sets the tone for a hotel that takes its bones seriously. A row of connected buildings on a shaded plaza, Vincci Molviedro was, in a previous life, something rather different, and the staff probably enjoy watching guests piece that together. Rooms are simply furnished with Andalusian textiles and hand-painted tile, many with private balconies, and the rooftop pool is a mercy in one of Europe's hotter cities.
