Los Seises Sevilla, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Our take

Sixteenth-century palace bones, a rooftop terrace with the Cathedral close enough to feel presumptuous, and interiors that don't apologize for being modern inside something ancient — Los Seises earns its address. This is Seville for people who want the city itself as the amenity: the Alcázar a short walk, the barrio alive at midnight. Come for two or three nights, not a week. If your holiday requires a full-service spa or resort infrastructure, look elsewhere — this place gives you atmosphere and location, and that's the entire point.
