Hotel Gravina 51

Hotel Gravina 51 is right in the heart of the Casco Antiguo, the historic center of Seville. Virtually all major attractions can be reached on foot, and there are dozens of dining, drinking, and shopping options nearby. The only problem with this central location is the noise and the crowds, but this is the ideal spot for those who want to be in the thick of the action or have limited time in town.There are dozens of restaurants ranging from upscale to small traditional tapas spots -- but some can be tourist traps, so the best rule of thumb is to check if there are locals dining before taking a seat.Seville has a wonderful historic and cultural heritage, and the best way to explore it is on foot. However, its narrow, winding streets can be difficult to navigate without a map, so guests should ask for one at the front desk. There are beautiful churches, historic buildings, and charming nooks everywhere; even the simplest door may lead to a beautiful traditional patio with whitewashed walls and flower pots bursting with flowers.- 34-minute drive to Seville Airport
