Ever dreamed of royalty? Since its opening in 1929, Hotel Alfonso XIII has been a renowned landmark in Seville, the ancient southern capital of Spain. Its magnificent Art Deco style has captivated countless travelers. Now, redesigned by The Gallery at HBA London, the hotel not only restores its former glory but also uniquely incorporates Andalusian culture, adding profound historical richness to its luxury elegance. The grand lobby features smooth marble floors, marble staircases, and a crown-patterned ceiling adorned with bas-reliefs. Elegant chandeliers hang beneath a grid ceiling, while the arcade is embellished with stunning murals—like stepping into a time tunnel.

To uphold the Art Deco theme, the “American Bar” combines glossy painted walls with silk fabric in slate blue-green tones, complemented by golden light fixtures. A massive cobalt-blue mirror frame and a bar counter crafted from polished copper and sandalwood skillfully extend the classical ambiance. The “Andalusian Room” draws inspiration from flamenco dance, with softly curved ceiling moldings that mimic the sway of a dancer’s skirt, paired with an opulent leather headboard featuring intricate floral patterns in elegant, muted tones—as if you’ve stepped into the residence of a Spanish princess. You’d wish this dream would never end.
