"For a taste of truly regal extravagance, look no further. Built specially for Seville’s 1929 Expo, this majestic establishment was commissioned by the then king of Spain, who gave it his own name. Look out for the monarch’s mahogany and bronze throne: This was originally used in the royal office of the premises, which is where the restaurant Ena now sits. Here, executive chef Brian Deegan had just launched a new menu including grilled Iberian pork with escalivada and scallops with cauliflower foam. The hotel’s 148 rooms alternate Andalusian, Castilian, and Moorish decorative styles; with grand stairways, sweeping corridors, and ornamental patterns everywhere the eye can see. Address: C. San Fernando, 2, Casco Antiguo, 41004 Sevilla, Spain" - Agnish Ray
"The old-world extravagance you expect to find at a hotel in Seville still pervades at the beloved Alfonso XIII." - Monica Mendal
