Best Hotels near Guadalquivir River Cruise

This Luxury Collection property is so stunning it could easily be mistaken for a Spanish palace. Located in the scenic Santa Cruz neighborhood of Seville, the Hotel Alfonso XIII has a knack for putting guests in a trance with its artistic, Andalusian architecture. Common areas are supported by marble arches and columns, frescos line the ceilings and intricate ceramic artwork adorns the walls. And that's just the lobby. Rooms are a little more modest, but still feature eye-catching details like Moorish arches over beds, ornate glass light fixtures and patterned marble floors. Standard accommodations feature views of the property's pretty patio and come equipped with complimentary Wi-Fi, LCD TVs and minibars. The Hotel Alfonso's flora-filled patio was a favorite among recent guests, as was the dining experience at the Restaurante San Fernando. There's also Ena by Carles Abellán, which primarily serves tapas, and the art deco-style Bar Americano. Should you want to work off some of Spain's notoriously hearty fare, there's a gym on-site and a pool surrounded by trees (a traveler favorite). Outside the Alfonso, guests can find city's best attractions within a stone's throw of the property, including Real Alcázar and Plaza de España. And because this hotel is part of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here.
