Hotel Vincci La Rábida ★★★★

Chandeliers, stone fountains, and marble columns are just some of the magnificent features that decorate Hotel Vincci La Rábida, once belonging to the kings and queens of Spain. The four-star hotel has embraced its regal beauty allowing guests to feel like royalty from the moment they arrive. Located on a calm cobbled street between Maestranza bullring and the Seville Cathedral, it is situated in the heart of the historic city centre just a 15-minute walk from the main attractions.

This exquisite hotel is set in an emblematic 18th century Andalusian palace, with a central courtyard-turned-lobby. The grand space is decorated with an arched gallery featuring wooden ceilings, a traditional fountain and a skylight allowing sunlight to pour in.

Make use of the cosy library or relax with a refreshment on the patio surrounded by colourful tiles and plants – a perfect example of Andalusian architecture. The magical experience continues as you step outside to explore the beautiful surroundings of the old town and the nearby Guadalquivir River.

Hotel Vincci La Rábida is not short of viewpoints with its impressive selection of bars and restaurants. Taste regional cuisine and tapas at the elegant Los Patios dining room with wooden ceilings and traditional Sevillian tiled walls. Or visit the snack bar which gives onto a charming patio with tables, a fountain, and plants.

For fine dining overlooking the city and cathedral of Seville, spend an evening at El Mirador – ‘the lookout.’ Spread across a quaint terrace, the restaurant serves innovative gourmet cuisine and is open seasonally. While the rooftop terrace bar is the perfect spot for an evening cocktail.

Rooms and suites are bright, comfortable, and well-equipped with all the modern amenities and little luxuries such as pillow menus. Decorated with an Andalusian theme, features include terracotta tile floors, wooden furnishings and often city views.
