Scene
A Belle Époque landmark with modern luxuries
The gorgeous Belle Époque exterior of Meliá Colón is a Seville landmark. The interior is just as exquisite, decorated in whites, reds, and golds, with great attention paid to honoring the city's cultural heritage. Meliá Colón combines careful restoration with contemporary furnishings by Philippe Starck, Marcel Wanders, and Edra, and the venue’s various restaurants and bars are popular gathering places for locals. The elegant lobby's centerpiece -- known as El Albero, after the sand in the center of a bullfighting ring -- is a glass and iron dome over a lush, round, red sofa and accompanying red chairs with a modernist twist.Guestroom doors feature painted artwork framed in gold, with hallway lighting evoking a gallery feel. Placards throughout the property offer historical tidbits, making a visit to Meliá Colón a step into Seville's past.

A 10-minute walk from the Real Maestranza bull ring, the hotel is a destination in itself, but guests will have no problem making the rounds of the city's best restaurants and tapas bars, or strolling to Seville Cathedral. The location is ideal, and the hotel itself captures the spirit of the city’s cultural history.
