Casa de Colón

If you’re looking for your home away from home in Seville, Spain, then Casa de Colón may be just what you’re looking for. This small, family-owned hotel stands out from the crowd for its superbly central location between the cathedral and city hall, warm and friendly service, and quirky architectural features. While the hotel is steeped in history being housed in an 18th century building, its use of contemporary touches, such as brightly-coloured woven Indian stools and batik cushions give it modern vibe.

Top Tips:
• Casa de Colón is a boutique hotel and because of this, only houses a modest 17 rooms in varying size. The largest of these rooms are the grand deluxe rooms that offer the most space of all the other rooms and feature a period tub to relax in in the bathroom. The outer-facing grand deluxe rooms even come with a large balcony boasting superb views of the Cathedral and San Francisco square where you’ll find Seville’s Town Hall. If you don’t mind a smaller room, many previous guests have suggested booking one of the attic rooms. These top floor rooms boast beautiful views of the city and have their very own private, pretty terrace-solarium.
• If you are travelling with a family or a larger group of people and require extra beds, it is worth noting that extra beds are available only on prior request and subject to availability. These extra beds are also only available in the grand deluxe double rooms and the deluxe double room. If you require an extra bed, you must contact Casa de Colón directly to make a request, and unless you have written confirmation from the hotel, your extra bed is not guaranteed. For families with younger children, cots are available free of charge and extra beds are also free for under-14s (they otherwise cost €15).
• If you or anyone you’re travelling with has mobility issues, you’ll be happy to hear that Casa de Colón is wheelchair friendly. There are also two adapted rooms for disabled guests – Room 1 off the ground-floor patio, and 205, on the second floor.
• Besides the budget friendly price, the piece de resistance of Casa de Colón has to be its vibrant and central location. Whether you’re looking to delve into history, explore the culinary delights of Seville, or shop till you drop, this hotel is smack bang in the centre of everything. Everything Seville has to offer is literally at your doorstep with the cathedral just a two minute walk away, endless culinary possibilities everywhere you turn, retail heaven just a street over, Real Alcazar Park just a 5-minute walk from the property, and Plaza Nueva Square just 100 metres away. If you’re hoping to explore greater Seville during your trip, Sevilla Train Station is only a 25-minute walk away.
• You can’t visit Seville without eating your weight in tapas. Our top tapas bar picks include La Fresquita ( a lively little bar festooned with “all things Semana Santa”), Las Teresas (known for its fabulous fried hake, grilled tuna collar (morillo), and spinach with garbanzos), Casa Román (a family run tapas bar founded in 1934), and La Azotea (a tapas bar highlighting local and seasonal ingredients with Mediterranean preparations and touch of fusion).
