A historic jewel in the heart of Seville

A former palace that makes its living by running a hotel in the heart of the old town on the noble theme of : "I'm keeping my place, I thought as I entered. Don't be fooled: everything here suggests that, while they go for the simple and distinguished, they also have a past taste for the complicated.
After the strange in-between of a courtyard opening onto the archbishop's palace, lined with Baroque arcades, who could imagine the simplest and most distinguished of decorations? The building features archaeological remains such as mosaic floors and Arab columns, Andalusian patios, colourful tiles and wrought-iron balconies. The atmosphere is both elegant and warm. This unique hotel perfectly blends history, culture and modern comforts, offering guests an unforgettable experience.

The name itself is quite a poem, coming from an old tradition: six young boys danced once a year in Seville Cathedral. This sacred dance, performed by a group of young boys dressed in traditional costumes, is deeply rooted in Seville's history and culture. This ritual dance was introduced in the 16th century, at the instigation of Diego de Deza (1444-1523), Archbishop of Seville at the time. This fan-shaped parenthesis of bygone eras appeals to travellers looking for a reference point. Just like the stone walls, elegant arches and courtyards.

Los Seises Sevilla offers a range of amenities to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The Middle Ages went to great lengths to create a palace that could only become a palace. The spacious rooms are tastefully decorated, combining historic elements with modern facilities. The passageways are corridors running from one flat to the next. Who could imagine, behind the doors, rooms with a sober and refined décor like the one I occupied among the suites Cartuja. Each room comes with air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi and a luxurious en suite bathroom. Some have views of the cathedral or the city's rooftops. The hotel also features a beautiful rooftop swimming pool, providing the perfect setting to relax after a day of sightseeing.
