CORRAL DEL REY Seville
Jerez - 60 Miles , Huelva - 40 Miles , Malaga - 130 Miles , Cordoba - 90 Miles , Granada - 155 Miles
Corral del Rey strikes the perfect balance between old and new . Among the narrow , cobbled streets of the historic Barrio Alfalfa quarter at the heart of Seville , this small luxury boutique hotel occupies an ancient setting , where chic interiors are a stark contrast . This 17th Century Casa Palacio has been harmoniously restored to retain the character of original features which now sit harmoniously alongside contemporary installations . Enter through heavy , fortified doors and emerge under the foyer ’ s coffered ceiling into an atrium flooded with light from its glass ceiling . Here , Roman marble columns and arches meet carved wooden beams and exposed brackets which support the inner gallery . A feeling of casual elegance and friendliness strikes you upon entry , a characteristic befitting of an intimate , family-run hotel . Glass windows look into a ground floor café and bar , where Spanish wines and light tapas dishes can be sought throughout the day . Accommodation ranges from superior and deluxe rooms to suites , while fully-serviced apartments are also available . Each room is styled around its individual dimensions , with exposed beams and rustic shutters contrasting elegant fixtures and contemporary light fittings . A rooftop terrace with plunge pool is an exclusive addition , and massage and yoga therapies are also available . Corral del Rey ’ s stripped-down experience is pleasantly understated , though the service is of the utmost quality at this highly sought-after address .
