Built in 1929 for a Spanish king, this luxury hotel in Seville, Spain, boasts 151 rooms and suites where guests are sure to feel like royalty.
The rooms were originally designed to accommodate kings, presidents, celebrities, and other guests of the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, and that opulent decor still remains down to the marble and wood floors.
All rooms feature marble and copper and white tiled bathrooms, while some rooms have Juliet balconies or private terraces.
The interior offers a display of wealth and status from the arches and columns, hanging lamps, and fine carpets from the Royal Tapestry Factory.
The building of Hotel Alfonso XIII was designed by architect José Espiau y Muñoz, who was one of the leading representatives of regionalist architecture. Construction started in 1916 and ended twelve years later, with an official inauguration in 1929.
Before it opened to guests, a wedding of Prince Jan Zamoyski and Princess Isabel Alfonsa took place in the Spring of 1929 with King Alfonso XIII and Queen Victoria Eugenia attending the celebration.
San Fernando Restaurant Patio
The Hotel Alfonso XIII has two main restaurants for guests to enjoy and a few other secondary options. The San Fernando Restaurant occupies the patio and serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Centered on a large courtyard, complete with a fountain, the Alfonso XIII Seville rises much like a castle, with medieval designs all around.
Patio Galeria
The trendier restaurant Ena, which has been awarded a Michelin star, sits at the northernmost corner of the hotel and offers an innovative menu with tapas (think: salt cod fritters with honey and lemon) and modern Sevillian cuisine like Presa Iberica.
There’s also the Bar Americano, a small lounge that offers an extensive cocktail menu and appetizers. Finally, there’s a poolside restaurant with a cabana bar and ice cream cart to satisfy your sweet tooth!
