Corral del Rey
Spain: Andalusia: Seville
Tucked in the labyrinth that makes up Seville's historic district, just a five minute walk from the city's main historic sites - the Cathedral and the Alcazar - is the charming newly opened Corral del Rey. Situated in a 17th century historic home, this property has been meticulously restored maintaining many original features, such as ornate wooden beams and wrought iron handrails. With only six accommodations, it is perfect for takeovers: what was once the property's cellar is now a quaint private dining room with original Roman columns discovered during the restoration.

Check-in takes place in the lovely interior courtyard, where the hotel's warmth and exclusivity instantly enchants its guests. The welcoming reception team also works as a concierge giving visitors insight to the city's best attractions. Accommodations are decorated with an eclectic mix of furnishings fusing Asian and contemporary styles. All rooms have state-of-the-art entertainment systems to include ipod docking stations, surround sound and flat screen satellite televisions. Junior Suites and Deluxe Rooms have exterior facing windows and Junior Suites have both bathtubs and shower.

After a day discovering Seville, a real treat is dining in the hotel's restaurant that serves outstanding modern interpretations of classic Andalusian cuisine. A chic small bar offers a great selection of Sherries and Cavas. Breakfast is served in the restaurant or on the hotel's rooftop terrace, which is also a great place to enjoy a post-dinner digestivo.
