Alcoba del Rey Boutique Hotel Sevilla travel guide

Exclusive and charming hotel.Beside the Basilica which keeps the universal Saint Mary of Macarena, we have placed our hotel, in a small palace where, according to the legend,the king poet of Seville, hide from his father his love to the laundress Rumaykiyya.

Our hosts can not really imagine what they are going to find inside when looking at its sober but elegant faade. An explosion of colours, the tinkling water when falling in our fountain, and exuberant scents take us back to the Seville of Al-Andalus, to the magnificent kingdom of Taifas of Al-Mutamid, who made Isbiliyya (Seville) the most important city of the ancient world.

Its architectural structure, based on handmade materials used in Seville 8 centuries ago, consists on a central andalousian patio, surrounded by different chambers: the reception, breakfast lounge, cafeteria, the spiral staircase, and the 15 rooms, each one different and unique, decorated in different colours and furniture, and giving special relevance to the bathrooms, whose walls are stuccoed and their baths made with marble. They have king size beds with canopy, carved headboards, doors with horseshoe archs, silk and cotton clothes, the scent of the furniture made on cedar, handmade basins made on polished brass and victorian taps brought from India. Our rooms have their own history because instead of having numbers, they have the names of significant figures from Al-Andalus, who were born, lived or developed their best works in Seville.
