Frommer's Review

This is the best of the three grand old hotels (Sevilla, Inglaterra, and Plaza) near the Parque Central. Plus, it's got a lovely street-level pool and well-equipped little health club, which the other old dames lack. Still, all three are easily eclipsed by the new Hotel Saratoga . Some of the standard rooms are a bit small and lackluster, and it's definitely worth the splurge for a superior or junior suite -- you'll get a lot more space. The hotel was actually built in two stages, and all of the current rooms are in the newer Biltmore addition, which dates from the 1920s. The original (ca. 1908) Grand Sevilla operates as a hotel training school, although the original ornate, Moorish-influenced lobby area is still working and quite impressive. The ninth-floor Roof Garden Restaurant is one of the top dining options in town.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; 2 bars; outdoor pool; health club; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; 24-hr. room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
