Hotel Alminar

A small friendly hotel in Sevilla

One of Seville's most elegant classical townhouses has been newly converted into the Hotel Alminar, turning it's back on it's previous role as the headquarters of a leading manufacturer of hand-made silk shawls and flamenco dresses.

The team at Alminar have worked hard to create an environment of calm in a quiet pedestrian street in the very heart of Seville. It is just 50 metres from the cathedral and the Giralda, the soaring spire sometimes known by it's old moorish name of Al Minar.

The bedrooms are spacious and modern, and elegantly decorated to provide a cool, calm base for your stay in Seville. It's so peaceful that it's hard to believe that you are right in the centre of a major city. Naturally they are comprehensively equipped with full bathroom, satellite television, telephone, internet access, mini-bar, and individual air conditioning and heating. The two Superior rooms on the top floor even benefit from a small rooftop terrace with views of the cathedral and La Giralda. And for disabled guests, the whole hotel has been designed for easy access and one room is specially adapted for a wheelchair user.

The Sevillian patio at the centre of the building has been carefully restored and retiled with tiles which exactly match the originals. Today this is the place to enjoy the continental breakfast, or just to pop in for a tea or coffee, and to meet up with friends.

We have known Francisco, the manager of Alminar, for a very long time and he is undoubtedly a major asset. He has surrounded himself with a small staff who have a unique knowledge of their city and are more than pleased to help their guests to get the absolute maximum from their stay in Seville. Without a doubt, this hotel is so much more than just a building.

Restaurant:

Just breakfast is available, but don't despair, there are scores of restaurants in the surrounding streets. What's more, breakfast is an ample buffet with cold meats and cheeses, yoghourts, cereals, fresh fruit and cakes, plus toasts, croissants and orange juice ( and coffee, tea, etc of course).

A Word From the Owner:

"I hope you can visit Seville and stay with us at our Hotel Alminar. Its privileged position in the historical centre, its more than comfortable rooms and its nice staff make it a wonderful choice for your stay in this city."

What We Say:

Two things stand out at Alminar: the closeness to the cathedral and all the sights of Seville, and the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. They really go the extra mile to give you the local information that you won't find in any guidebook.
