Hotel Inglaterra ReviewThis is a genuinely excellent and very comfortable hotel whose historical importance has been to some degree obscured behind contemporary-looking marble sheathing that was added in 1968 as part of a radical modernization. Inaugurated with pomp and circumstance in 1857 and still considered one of the finest hotels in Seville, it has hosted the monarchs of Spain and Belgium (in 1915 and 1921, respectively), Seville-born actress Penelope Cruz, and a wide assortment of Spanish and international luminaries. It occupies one side of a palm-lined plaza (Plaza Nueva) that's home to some of Seville's most upscale shops. Throughout, there's an elegant but unpretentious ambience that's established by a top-notch concierge staff. Bedrooms are plush, conservatively modern, and comfortable. Some of the plushest accommodations in Seville are on the uppermost floors; these rooms have views directly over the Giralda and many of the antique rooftops within the immediate neighborhood. On-site is a richly decorated Irish pub, the Trinity. One floor above street level, the Galería serves well-prepared food from a frequently changing international menu. Facilities: Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

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.
