Every element of the hotel reflects the region's rich cultural tapestry, meticulously reimagined for the modern luxury traveler.The property’s 26 unique rooms are divided into three distinct styles—Arab, Mozarabic, and New World—each inspired by the diverse cultures that have shaped Seville over centuries. Designed by renowned interior designer Alejandra Pombo, the hotel harmoniously blends Andalusian heritage with contemporary aesthetics. Local artisans have crafted bespoke elements like hand-painted wallpapers, intricate azulejos, and wrought iron balconies, turning the hotel into a living museum. Complementing this are exclusive artworks curated from the collection of Marisa C. de Azcárate, co-owner of Kaizen Hoteles, further enriching the property’s narrative.

This philosophy of uniqueness extends across all rooms, where modern comforts like advanced acoustic insulation and sustainable climate control complement the historical authenticity of the space.
