Alfonso XIII • Seville, Spain
Posted in Seville, Most Beautiful Hotels on Aug 14th, 2007 No Comments »
This grand palace was built by King Alphonso XIII in 1928 to host dignitaries for a worldwide exposition held in Seville. The architecture is a fascinating blend of Moorish and Baroque themes and is in Seville’s historic center near the Seville Cathedral, the Girlanda and the Royal Alcazar Palace.
There are magnificent wood-panelled ceilings, marble floors and intricate tilework including exquisite hand-painted ceramic tiles. Furnishings are period and the whole effect is very rich. The central courtyard with fountain and grounds surrounding the hotel give a green and secluded air to the hotel.
