The 18-room Hotel Casa del Poeta is an intimate, upper-mid-range property centered around a charming three-story courtyard brimming with plants and open to the sky. The interior architecture as well as the setting are particularly romantic; the property is removed from the street down a tiny, pedestrian, cobblestone alleyway, and situated two blocks from the Alcàzar (within walking distance of many of the most beautiful tourist destinations in the heart of the city). Rooms are simple and elegant with marble floors, white walls, stocked minibars, and free Wi-Fi. Bathrooms are on the small side, and there is little drawer space for clothing. A few guests have noted noise from the inner courtyard.
Scene
Boutique set in a Sevillian manor house with charming inner courtyard
With exterior walls painted peach and yellow, the Hotel Casa del Poeta is set in a handsome, three level stucco building in a classic Sevillan style. The inner courtyard and atrium opens up to the sky and is rife with potted ferns, ivy, and wicker chairs set throughout the brick-lined hallways. The decor inside includes exposed wooden beams and deep red walls in the first floor bar, and recessed lighting and bright, vaulted ceilings in the breakfast room for a highly intimate and romantic aesthetic throughout.
Location
In the heart of the commercial and tourist center, in the Jewish quarter a few minutes walk both from Alcàzar and Seville Cathedral
The top floor of the hotel courtyard overlooks the beautiful rooftop of the Santa Cruz cathedral, in the very heart of the Jewish quarter; the property itself is surrounded by some of the most beautiful and historical attractions in the city. Restaurants, shops, and bars abound in the surrounding streets. Those guests with limited mobility will want to note that the hotel is not immediately accessible by car, as it is set back from the street by a long cobblestone walkway, which can make the property difficult to find.
Rooms
Fairly spare, but elegant and bright rooms with walk-in showers and stocked minibars
Linen, lavender, and dusky gray predominate the color scheme in the romantic, classical-style rooms outfitted with marble floors, cushioned wingback chairs, and some form of slightly playful recessed lighting, either behind a large decorative mirror, or inset into a staircase in the case of the larger rooms. Decor is simple, and consists of mirrored doors, the occasional gilt-detailed plinth with a vase, or draped curtains. Bathrooms may be on the small side; all have a walk-in shower with a glass door and a rainforest showerhead, marble floors, and a small toiletries kit in addition to bath products. Larger rooms may have the bathroom on a separate level. All rooms have a flat-screen TV, overhead reading lights in addition to bedside lamps, a digital safe, a fully stocked mini-fridge, a hairdryer, slippers, and a makeup mirror. Larger rooms have bathrobes.
Features
Restaurant lobby and bar plus rooftop with views of the city
Fresh orange juice and homemade products are served for breakfast (for a fee) either in the hotel's small dining room or the pretty inner courtyard. There is a rooftop deck with a few wicker chairs above the top hallway level that affords spectacular views of the city. The hotel hallways also have a few chairs for sitting back and enjoying the calm of the inner courtyard. Wi-Fi is free and guests report good connectivity. The lobby bar is a romantic space with red walls and exposed wood beams.
