Patio de la Alameda

In the Old Town area, a hotspot for fabulous flamenco clubs and tasty tapas bars, this 19th-century palace is something of a secret bolthole in the middle of Seville. 
 
It’s a hotel of two halves. It’s set around a historic courtyard painted in a sizzling shade of coral, where tropical plants and flowers spill from the railings. But you only have to venture to the rooftop bar for something far more modern: the Almeda Chill Out Terrace serves vibrant cocktails to tables lit with neon pineapples and flamingos.
 
Each room is individual. You might find yourself in a powder pink parlour, a cobalt blue bedroom, or something different altogether. Either way, there’s air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a fridge, and free Wi-Fi. And when you leave your room behind, you’ll find yourself in the heart of the action on Plaza de la Alameda de Hercules.
