"If Andalusia feels reminiscent of North Africa, it’s no accident. Sevilla’s got Moorish roots, just like Marrakech. And if a hotel like the Mercer Hotel Sevilla feels a bit like a riad, the inside-out courtyard residences of North Africa, it’s not hard to imagine why. Of course the Andalusian style is unique — there’s a certain ornateness to the architecture along with a simplicity to the décor, and more of a willingness to let that bright sunlight stream in and illuminate these white-on-white spaces. But in the end it’s a remarkably similar concept: an air of sequestered luxury around a beautiful central patio, and a surprisingly small scale, just four rooms and eight suites." - Tablet Hotels
