The 24-room Sacristia de Santa Ana is an upper-middle-range boutique hotel constructed in classic Andalusian style, based around an interior courtyard with three floors and a glassed-in atrium. Situated about 20 minutes on foot from the old center of Seville on lively Alameda de Hercules square, the area is lined with cafes and restaurants that stay hopping well into the evening. Individually outfitted rooms feature Spanish Empire style decor with modern touches and include decorative striped headboards, glass chandelier sconce lights, and chintz screen closet doors. Some guests have complained that noise from the square filters into the outward-facing rooms at night.

Scene
Boutique in a converted 18th century convent based around a classic Andalusian interior courtyard
The Sacristia de Santa Ana is a charming boutique set in a former convent with lots of original architectural details. The restaurant and lobby are a slightly eclectic but beautiful mix of gilded wood panels, bric-a-brac stained glass windows, and painted tiles. Black, white, and gold predominate in an elegant style that leans towards Spanish Empire, with decorative ornamentation throughout. A terra-cotta tiled interior courtyard houses a water feature and a few chairs. Overall this hotel is quiet and intimate, though some rooms do experience noise from late night partying in the nearby square.
Location
On Alameda de Hercules square, with a hopping nightlife scene
The hotel is across the street from a lovely plaza, which during the winter holidays houses a nativity market with an assortment of stalls, and year-round is lined with eateries and cafes. Guests in the hotel have noted that crowds hang in the streets late into the night in the area, and are the source of some noise, and that municipal workers may clean up the plaza early in the morning, also creating some unwanted noise. Several bus lines -- at least one of which goes directly to the Jewish quarter (15 minutes) -- stop right across the street from the hotel. The Alcàzar is a 20-minute walk away. The airport is an hour and a half on buses with two transfers, starting from the Alameda de Hercules square.
Rooms
Elegant rooms painted in romantic shades like baby pink and lavender
The smaller of the elegant rooms have just a few, albeit dramatic, decorative touches, which include a gold and black striped painted headboard, dark wood shutters, and small glass sconce chandeliers beside the bed. Larger rooms have wood-beamed ceilings, painted crown molding, wall-hung bed canopies, carved wood writing desks, and fainting couches. All rooms have air-conditioning, a writing desk, a flat-screen TV, a stocked minibar, a digital safe, and shower/tub combo in marble-lined bathrooms with porcelain sinks. Some rooms have a small, private terrace and separate living area.
Features
Computer terminal in lobby for guest use and beautiful breakfast area
There is a computer terminal adjacent to the lobby, which also houses a buffet area where breakfast is served. A small restaurant offers Mediterranean cuisine, and the 24-hour reception can arrange for laundry and babysitting. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property. The architecture itself is one of the main features of this hotel; a former convent with a pretty interior courtyard, this boutique is full of character.
