Imperial Luxury Apartment

Hotel Description

You know what? I walked past Imperial Luxury Apartment about three times before I realized this was actually my hotel – it’s tucked into this narrow cobblestone street in the heart of Seville’s old town, and honestly, from the outside it looks like just another beautiful old building. Which, I mean, it sort of is, but once you step inside, there’s this immediate sense that someone really thought about how to blend historic charm with modern comfort.

The location is absolutely killer if you want to be in the thick of things. Calle Imperial sits right in the maze of streets between the Cathedral and the Alcázar, so you’re literally a five-minute walk from the major sights, but – and this is important – you’re just far enough off the main tourist drag that it doesn’t feel like you’re sleeping in the middle of a theme park. I could hear the clip-clop of horse carriages in the morning, but it wasn’t the constant stream you get on the bigger streets. The apartment itself feels more like staying in someone’s beautifully renovated home than a typical hotel room. High ceilings with original wooden beams, tile floors that stay cool even in the brutal Andalusian heat, and these gorgeous wrought-iron details that remind you you’re sleeping in a piece of history. The kitchen area actually works – I made coffee there every morning and it became this little ritual before heading out to explore.

What really sold me on this place though was how the staff seemed to know the neighborhood inside and out. When I mentioned wanting to find good tapas away from the tourist spots, they didn’t just give me a list – they drew me a little map showing which bars locals actually frequent (there’s this tiny place around the corner on Calle Rodrigo Caro that I never would have found otherwise). Parking can be tricky in this part of town – the streets are medieval, so forget about your rental car fitting – but they arranged garage parking nearby for a reasonable fee. The 8.7 rating makes sense to me; it’s not trying to be a five-star palace with marble everything, but it nails what it is: a comfortable, authentic base for exploring one of Spain’s most incredible cities. You’ll sleep well, you’ll have everything you need, and when you step outside, you’re immediately surrounded by the sights and sounds and smells of real Seville.

Reviews

• Dimitrios from Greece – 30 October 2024 (9/10)

  It was clean, comfortable and in a nice location.
  
  What could be improved: The windows are old, so we were sleeping close to the street (ground floor) and if someone was passing we could hear him (especially the sound of the wheel luggages) so we were awaken easilly.

• Zdravkovic from Serbia – 29 April 2024 (9/10)

  The location is on walking distance drom all of the Sevilla's attractions. We loved the vicinity of great cafes and bars (for breakfast). A unique recommendation for family stay!

• Chong from United Kingdom – 21 March 2024 (9/10)

  What could be improved: Little bit noisy as we was on the ground floor but wasn’t a big deal for us.

  What could be improved: Not such thing!

• Paweł from Poland – 5 February 2024 (8/10)

• Brent from United States – 28 August 2023 (9/10)

  Spacious, well maintained, fully facilitated. Met cleaning lady once, she was very friendly and helpful.
  
  What could be improved: Our unit is on the ground floor. You can easily hear the people dragging their laggage on the cobblestone roads.

• Lisa from Netherlands – 14 June 2023 (9/10)

  Lovely apartment! Really nicely furnished and perfect for 2 couples or family as there was 2 bathrooms. Within walking distance of lots of cafes and places to see.

• Passant from Egypt – 20 May 2023 (9/10)

  the location was perfect, just 10 min walk from all the main attractions and 5 min from the train station.

• Ralph from United States – 29 October 2023 (8/10)

  The location was great! The apartment was well appointed. It was small but organized. The bathrooms were a good size. The beds were comfortable. It was a very good value for the location.
  
  What could be improved: It was smaller than I had thought, but it was a good value. It was perfectly fine for two single people traveling together.
