We Love
- The building — three linked 17th and 18th-century casa palacios, the noble houses of Seville's trading heyday, kept intact: an atrium patio, ancient Roman marble columns, Mudéjar woodwork and iron-studded oak doors.
- The rooftop — a terrace with a plunge pool and an honour bar, and a mirador taking in the Cathedral and the Giralda; the place for a glass of sherry and tapas as the city lights up.
- The location — tucked into the cobbled lanes of Barrio Alfalfa, the old heart of Seville, five minutes' walk from the Cathedral and the Alcázar, among the city's best tapas bars.
- The rooms — seventeen, each individually designed by Kuky Mora-Figueroa in a mix of old and contemporary, with marble and limestone bathrooms; the grander ones have terraces and their own plunge pools.
- The cellars — vaulted lower-ground rooms used for breakfast and as a cool retreat from the Seville heat, and an art gallery showing contemporary work the hotel represents.

Origins
Corral del Rey occupies a quiet corner of Barrio Alfalfa, the old quarter at the heart of Seville, five minutes' walk from the Cathedral. It is built into a group of casa palacios — the grand noble houses raised when Seville was the gateway to Spain's trade with the Americas and one of the richest cities in Europe. The oldest dates from the seventeenth century, with an eighteenth-century neighbour, and the hotel today runs across three of these linked buildings on the narrow cobbled street that gives it its name.
The restoration kept what mattered. You enter through huge iron-studded oak doors into a classic Andalusian courtyard patio ringed by ancient Roman marble columns; above it rise galleried floors with carved Mudéjar woodwork, underfoot are floors of Tarifa stone, and below ground lie vaulted cellars now used for breakfast and as a cool retreat from the Sevillian summer. Against all this the seventeen rooms — each individually designed by Kuky Mora-Figueroa, blending the antique with the contemporary — feel modern and uncluttered, with marble and limestone bathrooms and, in the grander ones, private terraces and plunge pools.
It is a family hotel in the truest sense: created by Anthony and Patrick Reid, the Anglo-Spanish family behind the Hacienda de San Rafael in the countryside beyond the city, and run with the warm, understated, personal service that is the mark of an owner-run house. The life of the place gathers on the roof — a plunge pool, an honour bar and a mirador looking straight at the Cathedral and the Giralda — and in the downstairs bar, where an all-day tapas menu comes with Spanish wines and premium sherries. Small, genuine and quietly luxurious, it is one of the city's most characterful places to stay.
Top Secret
The roof is the reward, and it is worth timing your day around it. Up above the casa palacio's galleried floors sits a small terrace with a plunge pool, an honour bar and an extended mirador that looks across the tiled rooftops of the old town straight to the Cathedral and the Giralda tower. Climb up in the early evening with a glass of Sevillian sherry and a plate of tapas, watch the swifts wheel around the bell tower as the heat goes out of the day, and you have the city's greatest monument almost to yourself — a view most visitors queue for, from your own hotel.
The Review
Corral del Rey is among the most appealing small hotels in Seville, and its charm is the charm of the city itself: old, golden and intimate. It runs across three linked casa palacios in Barrio Alfalfa, the cobbled old quarter five minutes from the Cathedral, the grandest dating from the seventeenth century — noble houses from Seville's trading heyday, restored with their Roman marble columns, Mudéjar woodwork, Tarifa-stone floors and vaulted cellars intact. With just seventeen rooms, it feels less like a hotel than a private Andalusian house.
The rooms, individually designed in a mix of antique and modern by Kuky Mora-Figueroa, range from compact doubles to grander suites with their own terraces and plunge pools; all have marble and limestone bathrooms and the quiet comfort of an owner-run house. The pleasures are the patio, the art-hung living rooms, the vaulted cellar breakfast — and above all the rooftop, with its plunge pool, honour bar and a mirador framing the Cathedral and the Giralda. Downstairs, an all-day tapas bar pours Spanish wines and good sherries.
It suits couples and families who want history, character and an old-town address over a big hotel or a resort — this is a small, personal, deliberately understated place, family-owned by the Reids of the Hacienda de San Rafael. The whole of monumental Seville is on the doorstep: the Cathedral and the Alcázar five minutes off, the tapas bars of Alfalfa at the door, and the rooftop waiting at the end of the day. For a characterful boutique stay in the heart of the city, there are few to match it.
