"We challenge you to find a better view of Seville's glorious cathedral than the one from EME's rooftop. Occupying prime real estate in the city's buzzing heart, location is everything here. Throw in some five-star luxuries - spoiling rooms, a spa with hammam, a restaurant, a street-level tapas bar, and an achingly hip rooftop bar with an adjoining swimming pool - and you're really onto a winner.The hotel is spread between 14 traditional Sevillian houses, which sit around a zen-like courtyard with flowing fountains and an enchanting flower stall. This patio is the heart of the building, decorated with a large whitewashed wall latticed with undulating Islamic laceria inscriptions. Step outside and the city's magnificent Alcázar (palace) is on your doorstep, not to mention a plethora of amazing tapas bar and a world-famous flamenco house. If you want traditional Spanish charm, it's not for you, but movers and shakers will love it here. It's the very epitome of city style. Highs One of the most stylish hotels in town, with full marks for location, sheer pampering and classIt's a stunning blend of traditional Moorish design with avant-garde architecture and lavish interiorsIts flagship roof terrace is the place to see (and be seen) in town, with great drinks, front-row views of the cathedral, and a smattering of VIP guestsThe rooftop pool is a godsend in Sevillian heat, and the views from it are hard to beat Lows Be prepared for a well-dressed, cliquey vibe (and pricey drinks) on the roof terrace: it's popular with high-class, frio y fino SevilliansSeville is a late-night place and noise continues into the small hours; the hotel claims to be soundproofed, but you might want to bring earplugsCorridors and some rooms are quite dark, but it keeps them nice and coolThe rooftop pool is more suited to a quick dip than swimming" - Rupert Eden
