The newest luxury hotel in Seville, Spain, is the Mercer Seville, housed in the elegant mid-19th-century Casa Castelar Palace. The property skillfully blends historic architecture with contemporary comforts. Beyond the lobby fountain and the gilt-upholstered sofa, guests find a selection of rooms and an exceptional suite with high ceilings and thoughtful period details. All 12 guestrooms are arranged around a traditional Andalusian central courtyard with marble flooring and large windows that flood the interiors with Spanish sunshine. Complimentary WiFi is available throughout, and the hotel displays original artwork by Agustí Puig.
On the first floor, the Maria Luisa restaurant offers a refined, modern interpretation of Andalusian cuisine crafted by Sevillian chef Rafael Liñán. A grand staircase leads to a rooftop terrace and Pool Bar, where guests can enjoy cocktails while watching the sun set over the nearby Guadalquivir River. The hotel also features the New York-inspired FIZZ Bar, showcasing an artisan cocktail menu by Diego Cabrera of Twist de Naranja. Located in the El Arenal district, the Mercer Seville is within easy reach of major attractions such as the Seville Cathedral, the Real Alcázar, and the Torre del Oro.
