Historic palace hotel with chic rooms, spa, and rooftop views
"A majestic 18th‑century palace reborn as a hotel that marries traditional grandeur with contemporary indulgence, serving as living testimony to Seville’s Arab influence. Inner courtyards with fountains and gardens evoke the refreshing calm of traditional Arab patios, while arches, tiles, and geometric decoration nod to the Mudéjar aesthetic. Once the home of Admiral López‑Pintado (later Marquis of Torre Blanca de Aljarafe) and built around 1729 by Diego Antonio Díaz, the building preserves key original elements; protected by the city since December 2009, it’s celebrated as one of Seville’s most authentic accommodations and a superb base for discovering the city." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Step through the massive wooden doors of this property and up the marble steps to the sound of water trickling from a fountain surrounded by gardenias, magnolias, and palms. From its restaurant to its orange tree courtyard out back, captivating vistas await you at each step around this splendid Baroque palace named after the marquis of Villapanés, whose descendants lived in it until just 15 years ago. Originally, however, it was built by the marquis of Torreblanca de Aljarafe, whose immense coat of arms can be found on the grand staircase that ascends from the romantic central patio. It’s a step into history, although contemporary designers from Philippe Starck to Patricia Urquiola have helped to create the spaces you see today. Address: C. Santiago, 31, Casco Antiguo, 41003 Sevilla, Spain" - Agnish Ray
"Old-world extravagance still pervades, even as the atmosphere is slightly more modern." - Monica Mendal
"Hospitality is a tough game, but when you start with a building as stunning as this one, it’s a bit like being born on second base. The hoteliers managed to acquire an 18th-century mansion in Seville’s Santa Cruz district, and with a few bold design strokes they’ve turned it into the Palacio de Villapanés, one of the city’s most fashionable boutique hotels." - Tablet Hotels
