Hotel Alfonso XIII Reopens Following Restoration in Seville

Jun 1, 2012


Hotel Alfonso XIII in Seville, Spain, has reopened as part of Starwood’s Luxury Collection Hotels & Resorts following a $25 million restoration. Local architecture firm Demopolis maintained the historic hotel’s gracious architecture, marked by Arabic-inspired arches, soaring towers, and renaissance-style windows. Interiors by HBA fuse history and opulence with original hand-painted Triana and Mensaque ceramic tiles, authentic wood-carved furnishings, and marble floors.

The property’s 151 guestrooms, reflective of Seville’s rich artistic heritage, feature one of three design concepts—Moorish, Castillian, or Andalusian—defined by distinctive color palettes and custom-designed furniture. The hotel also offers three signature suites, which Starwood says is “designed to cater to a new generation of affluent travelers.” The Reales Alcázares Suite features warm, dark interiors and offers spectacular views over the Real Alcázar’s picturesque gardens and fountains. The sprawling Torreón Suite offers a private terrace that extends out into the corner tower with views of Seville. Finally, the 2,150-square-foot Royal Suite showcases hand-selected antique pieces including “Bargueño,” a Spanish Renaissance cabinet inlayed with mother-of-pearl which was gifted to the hotel by the Aga Khan.

For F&B, guests can choose from Bodega Alfonso, a modern Spanish restaurant featuring a spacious terrace; Taifas, a poolside restaurant and bar featuring Moorish-inspired interiors; San Fernando restaurant; and the Art Deco-inspired American Bar. In addition, the renovated Salón Real Ballroom is adorned with Bohemian-inspired crystal and bronze chandeliers and a new wrought iron door influenced by Andalusian cathedrals.
