• Air conditioning and heating
• Breakfast service
• Full service restaurant as well as bar / cafe
• Television (expect international channels)
• Telephone in room
• Elevator
• 24 Hour reception
• Private parking

Possible additional amenities and services:

Hotel Alfonso XIII
Prices start at: 220 €
Hotel Alfonso XIII is known as the best hotel in Seville, and some say the best in Spain, while a few others dare to call it the best hotel in Europe! It certainly once was, and the ambitious renovation project which recently ended has done a lot to help. Expect one of the best levels of service as well as an incredible location: everything is reachable on foot, plus there are tram, metro and bus stops just outside the front steps (not to mention horse drawn carriages).

Hotel Palacio de Villapanes
Prices start at: 180 €
On a casual encounter I was able to tour the palace before most of the contents were removed. Interesting items were the first elevator in the city of Seville as well as large mohagany doors which had estimated values of 10 - 15,000 Euros, each! Rooms are divided between an older and more modern wing of the palace. The location is next to a church and the Hotel Las Casas del Rey de Baeza. More information...

Hotel Gran Melia Colon
Prices start at: 125 €
The hotel was renovated in 2009 to bring it up to 5 star status. Expect large, modern comfortable rooms with exterior windows to the busy shopping district and Arenal quarter. The renovations included the downstairs restaurant and bar, which are less classic and more modern, along with a more modern (new school of cooking) and expensive menu. Rates can often go down A LOT during low season. More information...

Hotel Eme
Prices start at: 200 €
Taking up almost an entire square block of prime real estate next to the Cathedral, the Hotel Eme caters to the hip and urban crowd, and attracts a number of the rich and famous. Facilities include several bars and restaurants, a roof top pool, spa and more. The rooms are minimalist and in some opinions a bit drab (concrete walls). A lot of thought went into the concept of the hotel and the surrounding businesses. Complaints about customer service may need to be addressed. More information...
