Hotel Mercer Sevilla, Seville

Pros

• This hotel combines luxury and boutique, as you get a 5-star accommodation with just 11 rooms, so you can count on an elegant yet quiet and unique vibe.
• The onsite restaurant plays with traditional Andalusian recipes, while the FIZZ Bar, known for its cocktails, offers a trendy vibe.
• Though a small hotel, it still has a rooftop terrace with a pool and sundeck, plus bar service where you can enjoy snacks and drinks while sunbathing or watching the sunset.
• Suites are worth the splurge, with desks, seating areas, and bathtubs—some even include private bars.
• From the rooftop, enjoy views of the El Arenal neighborhood, which places you within walking distance of numerous sites, including the Catedral de Seville, the Royal Alcázar, and Puente de Triana. 

Cons

• The suites are very nice, but the standard deluxe rooms seem to miss the luxury quality of a 5-star hotel.

Authenticity

Hotel Mercer Sevilla does an excellent job merging a luxury accommodation with a boutique feel, as the property only has 11 rooms. You'll be in the former Casa Palacio Castelar, a 19th-century mansion with a marble staircase, stained-glass windows, and a grand inner courtyard patio. 

Location

Enjoy an ideal location in Seville's historic city center, as you'll be in the El Arenal neighborhood just a few steps from Plaza Nuevo. You can easily walk to the Catedral de Seville, the Royal Alcázar, Puente de Triana, and Plaza de Toros in just about 10 minutes or less. 

Rooms & Bathrooms

We recommend bypassing the deluxe rooms, which feel too simple and basic for a 5-star hotel, and booking a suite instead. These upgraded rooms feel tranquil with warm wood, neutral tones, and pops of black and gold. Bathrooms are large and bright with white marble, bathtubs, and showers.

Amenities

Spend time relaxing on the rooftop terrace, which features an outdoor plunge pool and sundeck with lounge furniture. You can order from the bar to enjoy snacks and drinks while taking in the city views overlooking the Arenal District. Although the hotel has no spa, you can get an in-room massage if you need some pampering. The hotel is wheelchair-friendly, with accessible common areas, an elevator to the upper floors, and some rooms with roll-in showers.

Family-Friendliness

The hotel welcomes children of all ages, and there are suites with interconnecting rooms that are great for families. The hotel can also arrange babysitting services; free baby cribs are available upon request. 

Other Highlights

You'll also find an on-site restaurant that transforms traditional Andalusian recipes into unique and tasty concoctions, plus the FIZZ Bar, known for its cocktails. Guests can also start the day elegantly with the Mercer Breakfast served on Limoges china in the dining room. The buffet carries all the usual suspects, and eggs are made to order. You can try some Spanish delicacies at the upscale María Luisa Restaurant, with specials from around the country, like Galician octopus or Mallorcan sobrassada.
