The entrance hall at Hotel Alfonso XIII
  1. The December price window

    From 14 to 17 December 2026, individual nights run from €464 to €465 on Google, read 14 October 2026; the dearest night shown is 26 April 2027, at €4,760.

  2. The car stays here

    If you bring a car, allow €33 a day for on-site parking, or the same daily amount for valet parking; the hotel also lists €3 an hour and €231 a week.

  3. An aperitif before dinner

    Leave time before dinner for a cocktail at Bar Americano, whose Art Deco room opens at 6.30pm and stays open until 2am; the dress code is smart casual.

What the Alfonso XIII is

Commissioned for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition, the palace combines carved wood, ceramics and arches. Marriott dates its opening to 1928. Between Puerta de Jerez, the university and the Alcázar, it suits days that alternate sightseeing with a return to the garden.

Room choice matters: a Deluxe Classic starts at 21 m², a Grand Deluxe can have a terrace, and the Alfonso XIII Suite has a dining room. The Junior Suite’s official view and window fields conflict; its card preserves that detail.

The Pool Restaurant is listed as temporarily closed. San Fernando, Ena Sevilla and Bar Americano provide the other dining settings. Reviews praise the building and location, while some drinks-only visitors describe waits: a hotel stay and an afternoon table deserve to be read separately.

The scores come from 500 Google reviews with text, left from 2 February 2025 to 3 October 2026. The other hotels are the ones weighed for a stay in Seville: for each we read its latest 500 Google reviews with text, or all of them where there are fewer, as of 17 October 2026. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.

The hotels we weigh it against in Seville:

  • Hotel Colón Gran Meliá - The Leading Hotels of the World
  • CoolRooms Palacio Villapanés 5 GL
  • Hotel Boutique Casa del Poeta
  • Corral del Rey

Price: for two on the night of 14 December 2026, from €464 (seen on Google Hotels on 14 October 2026).

What a night costs, season by season

The December run is a useful place to start: from 14 to 17 December 2026, individual nights range from €464 to €465 in the Google reading of 14 October 2026. I would compare those dates with spring before choosing, when the calendar reaches €4,760 for 26 April 2027.

A bedroom stay and a coffee on the terrace are different visits within the same ratings. Source

Is the pool heated, and when does it open?

The garden pool is outdoors, open 11am–7pm, with towels provided. In its Tripadvisor reply the hotel describes it as unheated; its estimate of around 22°C from April to October is not a promised water temperature. The Pool Restaurant is listed as temporarily closed; that notice concerns the restaurant, rather than establishing that the pool is closed. Source The hotel’s reply about water temperature

Which room should you choose?

For outdoor space, I would choose a Grand Deluxe with Terrace. For 4 sharing, the room with 2 queen beds gives you 38–49 m². If you want a dining room of your own, I would choose the 147 m² Alfonso XIII Suite. Source

Is the hotel open all year, including summer?

Google’s calendar, read on 14 October 2026, showed prices for individual nights from 15 October 2026 to 9 September 2027; a date without a price does not establish a closure. All rooms have individually controlled air conditioning. Terraces may close in extreme heat or bad weather. The website gives 1 May–30 September for the pool bar, with the pool restaurant separately marked temporarily closed. Source

Is there a New Year’s Eve dinner?
