Corral del Rey, Seville
Refined boutique hotel with tranquil decor, an onsite restaurant, and a rooftop bar
Overview
Kimkim's Take
Pros
- Set in a 17th-century building, the hotel features all the charms of an Andalusian property, including a beautiful inner courtyard and leafy lounges.
- Rooms have serene, nature-inspired decor with neutral colors and many wooden elements.
- Some rooms feature in-room soaking tubs or private terraces with pools.
- Relax on the rooftop terrace with a drink from the bar, or stay cozy in the lounge area.
- You'll find a restaurant/bar on the ground floor, where you can enjoy your daily breakfast, too.
- The location is right behind the Museo del Baile Flamenco and down the street from Iglesia de San Nicolás de Bari, plus within walking distance of sites like the Catedral de Seville, Royal Alcázar, and Plaza de España.
Cons
- You may hear street noise from your rooms when the windows are open or if you are staying in one of the rooms near the elevator or reception.
- Nighttime noise levels can be higher on weekends due to the nearby bars and restaurants.
Authenticity
Corral del Rey ("King's corral") sits in a stunning 17th-century building, maintaining all the typical charms of an Andalusian house. You'll enter through two grand wooden doors and arrive at a beautiful inner courtyard with wooden and marble columns, iron railings, and stone archways.Location
The location is right behind the Museo del Baile Flamenco and down the street from Iglesia de San Nicolás de Bari, plus within walking distance of sites like the Catedral de Seville, Royal Alcázar, and Plaza de España.Rooms & Bathrooms
The rooms are bright and welcoming with an air of elegance, serene neutral tones, splashes of colorful textiles, and lots of warm wooden elements. All do a good job preserving the building's historic charm while staying a bit chic. Some units feature in-room soaking tubs or private terraces with pools, though overall, the bathrooms feel dated.Amenities
There is a shallow rooftop plunge pool that’s great for cooling down in the heat of the Andalucian sun, and you can access it 24 hours a day (although you’ll need to ask for the key at night). Although there is no conventional bar on the rooftop terrace, you’ll find a self-service Honesty Bar so that you can enjoy a poolside drink with a view. There is no spa, but you can unwind in your room with an in-room treatment like an aromatherapy or deep tissue massage, a yoga lesson, or some reiki.Family-Friendliness
Although this boutique hotel appeals to adult travelers and couples, children of any age are welcome, and those under three can stay for free. Some rooms are suitable for families, and even connecting rooms are available.Other Highlights
The hotel's rooftop terrace is perfect for hanging out at sunset. Grab a drink from the Honesty Bar and relax in comfy lounge furniture on the sundeck. There is also a library with art books, sofas, and another Honesty Bar. When hungry, you can enjoy a meal at the onsite restaurant/bar, which serves the daily breakfast buffet.Like what you see?
