Best Luxury Hotels in Seville
Seville, with its costumes, music and lifestyle, is typically how outsiders see Spain. This iconic and historic city was occupied by the Moors for many years before being reconquered by the Catholic monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella, and the influence of both remains, while flamenco originated with the gipsies of Andalucía. The summer heat and strong sun of Southern Spain are too much for some, although good use of ceramic tiles, running water (an Arab custom) and shady palm trees is a help. Go when it’s cooler in April for the Feria’s daily display of local society, the horse-riding, the dressing-up, and of course, the partying; or arrive two weeks earlier during Semana Santa (Holy Week) for a spectacular but more sombre experience. Whenever you go, there is plenty to see within easy reach and here is the TLE pick of the best hotels in this beautiful city.
