Inglaterra Hotel

Scene

Historic hotel with classic English interiors and relaxed atmosphere

The hotel is located right opposite Seville's city hall and has a similarly ornate exterior, blending right in with this atmospheric part of town. Inaugurated as a hotel in 1857, the property has a rich history. The spacious lobby feels grand and luxurious (if a little dark), decorated with classic period furnishings, interesting memorabilia, marble-finish floors, brass details, and old-fashioned floral curtains. Crystal lampshades create a sense of Old-World grandeur, while antique grandfather clocks add a typically English feel. While it's convincingly traditional, the look will seem tired or dated to some travelers. The lobby has plenty of seating areas and a quiet bar, offering guests an impressive selection of cocktails and whiskeys. Some guests gather here before heading out for the evening, but many head to the rooftop terrace, sipping sundowners and taking in the stunning city views. It has a sociable atmosphere at night, staying open late in the summer. The hotel attracts a lot of tourists, but some business travelers stay here as well.

Location

In Plaza Nueva, within walking distance to shops and attractions

Hotel Inglaterra is situated in leafy Plaza Nueva, a quiet square in central Seville, lined with shady palms and orange trees. There is a taxi rank directly opposite the hotel, and it's within easy walking distance to numerous shops, bars, restaurants, and attractions. Seville Cathedral, Jardines de Murillo, and Alcazar Palace are less than a 10-minute walk from the hotel, while Calles Sierpes and Calle Tetuan (two of Seville's most famous shopping streets) are five to 10 minutes away on foot. El Patio Sevillano, a flamenco theater, is a 15-minute walk away, while Plaza Del Museo is a 10-minute walk. Isla Magica Amusement Park is great for kids, and a five-minute drive from the hotel. Seville Airport and Santa Justa Train Station are around a 20-minute drive, depending on traffic.

Rooms

Classic rooms with antique style plus air-conditioning and marble bathrooms

The hotel has a variety of different room types, ranging from smaller Standard Rooms to larger Superior Rooms and Suites, some of which add furnished balconies overlooking Plaza Nueva. All 86 rooms are bright and classically decorated, with blue and yellow color schemes and polished hardwood floors. Antique English furnishings and elegant details are brought up-to-date with modern amenities, like flat-screen TVs, minibars, tea- and coffee-making facilities, phones, safes, air-conditioning, and free Wi-Fi. Some past guests have reported that the air-conditioning can be too weak in Seville's hot summers. Additionally, the thoroughly old-school look won't be everyone's cup of tea, but it's all clean, well-kept, and polished. Marble bathrooms have glass-enclosed shower/tub combos, hairdryers, and toiletries. Superior Rooms add hydro-massage bath tubs and double sinks, and some Suites add separate showers. Although the hotel is in the city center, the surrounding area is quiet, but noise from the hotel's own bar and within its halls and rooms has been an issue for some guests.

Features

Rooftop cocktail bar, English pub, breakfast buffet, fitness center, meeting rooms, and free Wi-Fi

Hotel Inglaterra has plenty of communal areas for guests to relax in. The rooftop terrace is a highlight, with a chic cocktail bar, outdoor seating, and stunning views over the city. Many guests congregate here in the evenings, and the bar stays open late during peak season. There's a cocktail bar downstairs in the lobby, offering an impressive selection of malt whiskey, plus a traditional English pub called The Trinity. The hotel doesn't have a full restaurant, but a generous breakfast buffet with cooked-to-order eggs is served daily -- keep in mind that it's fairly expensive. There's no fitness center on-site, though guests can use the one next door for free. The hotel has several meeting rooms and event spaces, plus a computer station in the lobby. Other services include a 24-hour front desk, concierge, room service (limited hours), currency exchange, and free Wi-Fi. The hotel also offers valet parking in an underground garage, which is something of a rarity in Seville, but this costs extra and can be pricey. Small pets are welcome at no extra cost.
