Staying in a beautifully preserved property is an option for all budgets. The best historic standard hotels in Seville offer renovated houses and mansions from the 16th to 19th centuries. They provided ways to enjoy the property's past with inner courtyard patios, wood-beamed ceilings, and stained glass windows.

As a family-owned property, you'll always find one of the members working at Hotel Boutique Casa de Colón, and they'd be happy to share the renovation story of this manor house. The family can trace the property's origins as far as the 18th century, but before that, they become a mystery. Still, they know it was renovated in the 19th century with Spanish and Italian influence, as it features Triana de Mensaque tiles from Seville and blue stained glass glazing popular in Italy at that time. 

The family beautifully preserved charming details like wooden headboards, brick walls, tiling, and a gorgeous inner courtyard. Enjoy the history while relaxing in the beautiful inner courtyard, with its glass ceiling, stained-glass windows, chairs, and sofas. As for breakfast, you'll dine on the rooftop terrace while admiring the views of the Cathedral and La Giralda Tower. Or, grab a drink and head up to the rooftop at sunset. 

Each room has its own unique look, meaning no two are exactly alike. Take your pick from rooms that range from standard to deluxe, or opt for the attic room featuring a private terrace with sun loungers. Bathrooms are also unique and vintage yet clean, and some have free-standing soaking tubs.

You'll find the hotel nearly on the Plaza Nuevo, putting you within walking distance of all the major sites, plus tasty tapas bars. In just a few minutes, you can easily walk to the Catedral de Seville and Royal Alcázar, and Plaza de España is just 20 minutes away. Learn more

Joya Del Casco Boutique Hotel

Joya Del Casco Boutique Hotel is housed in a 19th-century building once used by Sevillian academics, so it's no surprise that you'll find stately lounges and a small library inside. The brick facade features typical wrought-iron balconies, but the common areas are where history stands out. Enjoy relaxing in lounges with stone columns and archways, original tiling, vintage lighting, and cushy furniture. 

You'll also find charming tiled fountains and an inner courtyard, and you can enjoy the rooftop terrace, a highlight with a plunge pool, sun deck, bar, and outdoor shower. You can also relax in a ground-floor lounge, the library, or the inner courtyard. Enjoy a hearty spread of homecooked goods for breakfast, like delicious cakes. 

There are only two room options at the hotel, varying only in size. The idea is to keep everything standard so you can enjoy the hotel amenities and city. Still, the rooms are comfortable, bright, and warm, with modern furnishings and bathrooms.

Tucked away on a quiet side street, the hotel puts you in the center of it all and within walking distance of nearly every city site. The Museo del Baile Flamenco is just two minutes away, while the Catedral de Sevilla and Royal Alcázar are within a five-minute walk. Keep exploring Seville's historic streets and end at Plaza de España in just 20 minutes. Learn more

Set in the city center on a pedestrian street, El Rey Moro Hotel Boutique has one of the most charming inner courtyards in Seville, restored from the 16th century. The family who purchased the property worked for five years to preserve this impeccable courtyard and the hotel's historic essence. You can sit outside among the history, with dark-wood beams, ceilings, and balconies covered in leafy plants and facing a brick wall. 

The on-site restaurant serves traditional Andalusian cuisine (plus tapas and Mediterranean dishes) and keeps its bar open 24/7. Enjoy complimentary snacks in the evenings from 5:00 to 7:00 pm, and grab a bike from the reception (free of charge) to explore the city.

Some standard rooms at the hotel feel a little outdated, so we suggest bypassing those and opting for the comfort, deluxe, superior, or suite categories. Some feature historical elements, like wood-beamed ceilings and antique furnishings, and the suites offer in-room Jacuzzis. Keep in mind that many rooms open to the inner courtyard, so ask for one facing the street if you'd like a quieter stay.

This boutique hotel has an ideal location right down the street from the Jardines de Murillo that connects to the Royal Alcázar, the entrance being a quick five-minute walk away. Five minutes also gets you to the Cathedral, and it's just 15 minutes to Plaza de España. To top it all off, a few steps out of the hotel puts you among some of the best tapas bars in the city.
