No other hotel captures the essence of the beautiful Spanish city of Seville as well as the Palacio de Villapanés.

This chic, 50-room hotel, also known as the Alma Sevilla Hotel, opened its doors in Seville’s Santa Cruz district in 2009 and instantly became one of the city’s most fashionable boutique hotels

The 18th-century mansion, part of the Small Luxury Hotels of The World, is a classic exemplar of the Mudéjar style, a Moorish interpretation of the influences of the day.

The architectonic heritage is exquisitely enhanced thanks to marble columns and tiles, ornate archways, parquet floors, and baroque details that compliment the interior’s stylish furnishings, sumptuous fabrics, and sleek bathrooms.

The Palacio de Villapanés is—simply put—authentic Andalucian opulence brought into the 21^st-century.
