Hotel Alfonso XIII, named after King Alfonso XIII, is situated in the very centre of Seville.  The hotel opened to be the grandest hotel in Europe, was constructed to house international people for the 1929 Ibero-American Exhibition. Built with brick, plaster, wood, and ceramic, the ornate richness of the building is remarkable. Its recessed ceramic friezes and Mudejar-style: a historical version of the regional tradition inspired by Arab architecture.

The hotel’s décor, from the lobby to the inner-courtyard, is reflective of typical Sevillian-style. The 147 guest rooms pay homage to different eras of Seville and Spain’s layered past. Varying between Isabelline Baroque, Castilian, and Moorish-style, all have authentic antiques.Â
