Location in Seville's narrow streets can be difficult to find
Located in the historic center of Seville, the 134-room Hotel Becquer has a rooftop terrace overlooking the Seville Cathedral and iconic Giralda bell tower. Originally a 19th century palace home, the hotel today has been modernized and refurbished in a classically elegant style. Rooms are simple and clean, if a bit small, with electric kettles and stocked minibars. There is a rooftop pool and popular tapas bar on-site, but some guests find the location in Seville's narrow streets difficult to find.

Scene
Historic, elegant hotel
The Hotel Becquer is a peaceful property with charming historic details. The lobby has a private feel with clusters of sofas and armchairs along with marble floors, statues, paintings, and pretty inlaid wood furniture for a touch of Andalusian charm. There are nods to the hotel's former life as a 19th century palace home in the restored stained glass windows, original leaded doors, and Renaissance grilles on the reception desk. Overall the atmosphere is one of relaxation, from the popular tapas bar to the peaceful rooftop bar.
Location
In the historic city center, near the Guadalquivir River
The Hotel Becquer is in an ideal tourist location, in the center of Seville's historic district, within walking distance of most of the city's major points of interest. Set on a well-trafficked street filled with bars, restaurants and shops, guests can find whatever they need within a few minutes walk (even Burger King). The Guadalquivir River is nearby and offers the perfect setting for a romantic evening stroll. The Cathedral, Giralda bell tower, and old Santa Cruz historic neighborhood are five minutes away on foot.
Rooms
Small, quiet, and clean rooms
Rooms at the Hotel Becquer can be on the small side, but much attention is paid to guest comfort. There is a pillow menu and rooms have been soundproofed (the hotel is located on a busy, sometimes noisy street). For the most peaceful room, request a Monumental room facing the hotel's interior courtyard. Rooms are clean and have stocked minibars, safes, trouser presses, electric kettles, and flat-screen TVs. Linens and bath towels are of high quality.
Features
Rooftop pool and bar
The Becquer Hotel offers a spa with specialty treatments including milk baths, vinotherapy (yes, wine!), and chocolate body wraps -- be sure to book ahead. The rooftop terrace overlooks Seville's skyline. The pool is bright and clean, and sun beds can be moved into the sun or shade. The front desk will lend iPads, laptops, Playstations, and DVD players upon request. If driving, call ahead to reserve a parking space in the underground garage (street parking can be problematic). A guitarist accompanies the delicious breakfast buffet, and in the afternoon or evening, guests can enjoy quality tapas and mingle with locals at the Pick and Stay Bar.
