Hotel Boutique Triana House, Seville, Andalucia, Spain - Explore & Book
"A hop across the Guadalquivir river from the cut and thrust of Seville’s historic centre, the Triana district is home to many of the city’s best restaurants, its most authentic flamenco venues, a lively covered market, and colourful lanes with ceramic shops and street bars. Here, in a quiet back street around the corner from the historic Santa Ana church is Hotel Boutique Triana House.Opened in 2022, it's centred around a flamboyant patio – where terracotta statues of the four seasons evoke the facade of a neoclassical temple – and topped by a sunny roof terrace. Inside are a flamboyant salon and seven plusher-than-plush bedrooms. Dazzling decor combines geometric patterned marble floors, mirrored ceilings, ornate wallpapers and jazzy fabrics, retro brass fittings and original prints, Art Deco lamps and gold-edged mirrors. But the hotel's beauty is not just in the decorative detail: it also comes in the exceptional care you’re offered by the hotel’s staff. With so few rooms, they have time for caring and sharing, whilst the hotel’s 'My Secret Places' guide will help you discover jewels in Triana that you might otherwise miss. All this, and you're just a 15 minute stroll via the El Puente de Triana bridge to the busier side of the river and the historic centre – where the Giralda, Alcázar gardens and beautiful Santa Cruz quarter await.
