Few hotels in Europe are as legendary as Hotel Alfonso XIII. Commissioned by King Alfonso XIII in 1929, this palatial property has hosted royalty, heads of state, Hollywood stars, and discerning travelers from around the world. Nestled in the heart of Seville, beside the Alcázar and Cathedral, it is widely considered not only the most luxurious hotel in Andalusia but also one of the finest in Spain.

If you’re planning a journey to Seville, here are 10 compelling reasons why Hotel Alfonso XIII should be your first choice.
