A 42-room boutique hotel housed in a 16th-century palace that formed part of the Archbishop of Seville's residence, located steps from the Cathedral. The rooftop terrace pool with unbeatable views of the Giralda and Cathedral is the highlight. Excellent staff and a romantic atmosphere make it a perennial favourite.
Hotel Los Seises occupies a 16th-century palace on Calle Segovias in Seville's historic centre that once formed part of the Archbishop of Seville's residential complex — the name refers to the seises, young choristers who performed in the Cathedral and whose house this originally was. The building is directly adjacent to the Cathedral complex and the Giralda tower, in one of the tightest clusters of historic significance in the city. Forty-two rooms and suites are arranged across the original palace wings around a central Andalusian patio with a fountain; many rooms retain vaulted stone ceilings and period architectural details alongside updated contemporary furnishings. The rooftop pool and terrace are the hotel's outstanding feature: the Cathedral's buttresses and the Giralda tower fill the view on one side while the wider Seville skyline unfolds in the other directions — it is widely regarded as one of the finest rooftop vantage points in the city. A restaurant serves Sevillian cuisine in the atmospheric vaulted lower floors, and the bar is open throughout the day. The hotel is consistently praised for its staff warmth and attentiveness. The Alcázar entrance is three minutes on foot; Triana across the Guadalquivir river is a 20-minute walk. Spring is the most popular season and the hotel fills rapidly during Semana Santa.

Tips for visiting
- The rooftop pool delivers the best Cathedral views in Seville at this price point — visit at sunset for the most dramatic light on the Giralda.
- During Semana Santa, Seville Cathedral and the surrounding streets are at the heart of the processions — the hotel's location is unbeatable for watching from the rooftop.
- Book well ahead for April visits during Feria de Abril; accommodation across central Seville is extremely limited during this period.
- The patio fountain area is a cool retreat during hot afternoons — significantly cooler than the exposed streets outside.
- The hotel restaurant is a convenient but not necessarily the most exciting dinner option; the streets within five minutes' walk have outstanding tapas alternatives.
Accessibility
The 16th-century palace has a lift serving guest floors. Some areas of the original building include stone steps and narrow doorways typical of the period. Wheelchair access in the main patio and reception area is possible. Guests with mobility requirements should contact the hotel before booking to confirm which rooms and routes are accessible.
