Hotel Casa 1800

Tucked just around the corner from the cathedral, this handsome mansion—built for a former mayor of Sevilla—has an air of solid refinement. It's steeped in history and ideally located just moments from the cathedral. With its massive, studded-oak front doors big enough to allow horses and carriages in, the building itself is an old palace house that dates from 1864.  Its pale-toned guest rooms have been beautifully restored, with parquet floors and original exposed brick and beams. The furniture is stately yet understated. The hotel is arranged around an elegant central patio where breakfast and complimentary afternoon snacks are served. A decked rooftop features a small pool and close-up views of the Giralda and cathedral. There’s no restaurant, but plenty of eating options—including the popular Bodega Santa Cruz—lie just beyond the front door. Service is warm, friendly, and attentive—the team at the front desk are welcoming—which makes for a memorable stay.
