Intelier Casa de Indias

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Intelier Casa de Indias? Walking into the lobby feels like stumbling into someone’s incredibly stylish grandmother’s house – if that grandmother happened to have impeccable taste and a serious budget for restoration. This place sits right on Plaza de la Encarnación, which means you’re literally steps from Las Setas (those massive wooden mushroom structures everyone talks about), but honestly, the real magic happens when you step inside this converted 18th-century mansion.

The thing about staying in Seville’s old town is that you’re either going to love the constant hum of activity or it’s going to drive you nuts. Here’s where this hotel gets it right – the rooms facing the plaza give you all that energy when you want it, but the interior courtyard rooms are surprisingly quiet. I mean, we’re talking about a city where dinner doesn’t start until 10 PM and the streets don’t really calm down until well past midnight. The staff actually knows which rooms work best for light sleepers versus night owls, which is the kind of local insight you don’t get at chain hotels. Speaking of the staff – they’re not just friendly, they’re genuinely helpful. Need dinner reservations at that tiny tapas place that doesn’t take bookings? They’ll make a call. Wondering if it’s worth the walk to Triana tonight? They’ll give you the real story about which nights the bridge gets crazy crowded.

What really sold me on this place, though, is how it feels authentically Sevilian without trying too hard. The rooms blend original architectural details – we’re talking genuine tile work and exposed beams – with modern comfort that actually works. The air conditioning is solid (crucial during those brutal July afternoons), the wifi doesn’t cut out every five minutes, and the beds are legitimately comfortable. Plus, you’re a three-minute walk from the Cathedral and Giralda, but also tucked into this corner where you can grab morning coffee at the local bars alongside actual Sevillanos heading to work. Parking’s tricky in this part of town – honestly, it’s tricky everywhere in Seville’s center – but they’ll sort you out with a nearby garage. Just don’t expect it to be cheap; that’s the trade-off for staying in the heart of everything. The 9.1 rating makes sense once you spend a night here – it’s one of those places that gets the big stuff right while sweating the small details that turn a good stay into one you’ll actually remember.

• Kelly from Canada – 4 June 2025 (9/10)

  Great location, gorgeous character with amazing view to the mushroom architecture, very walkable.
  
  What could be improved: The rooftop patio tiles were very slippery by the pool. Be careful! I watched people slip all afternoon. The patio tables are metal and get piping hot in the sun. (Should probably be replaced)

  Hotel location is great, right next to Las Setas with an easy 15 min walk on a pedestrian route to the main tourist area with the Real Alcazar.
  Comfy beds and hot showers.
  Beautiful rooftop terrace/bar with stunning views across Las Setas lights.
  Lots of food options as the area is full of restaurants, cafes and bakeries.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing, hotel is lovely.
