Where to Stay in Seville: Top Areas

Seville is a city of sun-drenched plazas, winding alleys, and soaring bell towers — and choosing the right place to stay can shape your whole experience. Whether you’re after historical charm, nightlife and tapas, or relaxed riverside views, each neighbourhood in Seville has its own character and benefits.

At Travey Club, we’ve curated the best areas to stay in Seville, plus one recommended hotel in each, so you can book with confidence and enjoy your trip to the fullest.

Old Town (Casco Antiguo) – Best for First-Time Visitors

The Old Town — also called Casco Antiguo — is where Seville’s heart beats strongest. Cobblestone streets open onto grand plazas, and stunning landmarks like the Seville Cathedral and Real Alcázar are right on your doorstep. It’s perfect for travellers who want to walk everywhere.

Hotel Recommendation: Hotel Casa 1800

• Why stay here: Elegant boutique style blended with classic Andalusian architecture, a lovely courtyard terrace, and top-notch service.
• Best for: First-time visitors, couples, and culture lovers.
• Tips: Ask for a room with a terrace view — the sunsets are gorgeous.

Santa Cruz – Romantic & Historic

If you dream of narrow alleyways, orange-blossom scented courtyards, and hidden squares, Barrio Santa Cruz is your neighbourhood. This old Jewish quarter is full of charm and steps away from major attractions. It’s ideal for couples and history lovers.

Hotel Recommendation: Corral del Rey

• Why stay here: A boutique hotel inside a 17th-century palace with chic décor, spacious rooms, and a refined atmosphere.
• Best for: Romantic getaways or cultural explorations.
• Tips: Enjoy the rooftop terrace at sunset with a glass of local wine.

El Arenal – Best for Food & Nightlife

El Arenal is buzzing with life — classic tapas bars, flamenco venues, and the riverfront all within walking distance. It’s great for food lovers and nightlife seekers who want lively evenings after days of sightseeing.

Hotel Recommendation: Hotel Alfonso XIII

• Why stay here: One of Spain’s most iconic luxury hotels, with regal architecture and impeccable service.
• Best for: Luxury travellers, special occasions, and foodies (great concierge tips!).
• Tips: Book a room overlooking the gardens for extra charm.

Plaza de Armas / Arenal Train Station Area – Best for Convenience

This area around Plaza de Armas and the train station is perfect if you want easy connections to airports, trains, and buses. It’s still central but slightly more relaxed than the busiest historic quarters.

Hotel Recommendation: Zenit Sevilla

• Why stay here: Contemporary comfort, excellent breakfast, and walking distance to attractions and transport.
• Best for: Practical travellers, families, and transit friendly stays.
• Tips: Great choice for those arriving late or departing early.

Triana – Best for Local Culture & Riverside Views

Cross the Guadalquivir River and you’ll find Triana, a neighbourhood known for its ceramic workshops, soulful flamenco, and lively tapas scene. It feels more local and residential, with river views and authentic Sevillian character.

Hotel Recommendation: Hotel Casa Del Poeta

• Why stay here: A beautiful boutique hotel with décor inspired by Spanish poetry, tucked in Triana’s charming streets.
• Best for: Culture lovers and couples wanting a quieter stay.
• Tips: Book a river view room if available.

Travey Club Tips for Booking in Seville

Book early in high season (March–May, Sept–Oct) — Seville fills up fast, especially around major festivals like Feria de Abril and Semana Santa.

Walkability matters — Most historic areas are best explored on foot. Choose central hotels to minimize transport time.

Local life starts late — Dinner often begins around 9:00–10:00 PM, and tapas bars come alive well into the night.
