Serras Sevilla has officially opened its doors, bringing Serras Collection’s highly personalised approach to hospitality to Andalusia for the first time
The 43-room hotel occupies one of the city’s most prominent locations beside Seville Cathedral, the world’s largest Gothic cathedral and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From this singular setting, the hotel provides an intuitive approach to luxury, expressed through thoughtful details, tailored service, and doors quietly opened across the city.
The hotel marries the historic Casa Álvaro Dávila, a landmark residence designed circa 1915–1917 by celebrated Sevillian architect Aníbal González, with contemporary interiors by Spanish designer Eva Martínez.
The transformation has been six years in the making, including three years of restoration and a £37.7 million investment, making the property one of Andalusia’s most significant luxury hotel developments in recent years. Designed by Seville-based studio EDDEA Architecture & Urbanism, with consulting from CBRE Spain, the project pairs carefully preserved architectural features with custom furnishings and handcrafted materials.
“Arriving in Seville is a very special step in Serras Collection’s expansion, because it is a city with an extraordinarily distinctive identity, history and way of life,” said Mr. Jordi Serra Burges, President of Serras Collection.
“Its character, beauty and ability to blend tradition and modernity align perfectly with our approach to hospitality: hotels with personality, exceptional locations and, above all, deeply personal service, a form of hospitality built person to person. It is a hotel where guests can discover Seville from within through its craftsmanship, gastronomy and people, and where locals can feel at home.”
Seville through the lens of Serras
Each stay can be shaped around the guest’s interests, travel style and desired pace. Situated beside Seville Cathedral and within steps of the Real Alcázar, Plaza Nueva and City Hall, Serras Sevilla places guests at the heart of the city’s cultural and social life, unlocking doors rarely accessible to visitors.
Tailored itineraries range from private visits to the Cathedral, Casa de Pilatos and the Real Alcázar with specialist historians, to personal introductions to some of the city’s most celebrated artisan houses, including ceramics at Armando Arts & Crafts, the legendary shawls and mantillas of Juan Foronda, and flamenco at Tablao Los Gallos. Exclusive access to Seville’s culinary traditions allows guests to engage with chefs and producers at historic establishments serving quintessential Sevillian tapas and at the city’s finest contemporary dining destinations.
Rooms and suites with a view
The hotel’s 43 rooms, comprising 38 guestrooms and five suites, are designed so the essence of Seville is felt the moment the door closes.
Ceilings soar at the full height of the original residence, and in many rooms and suites, the windows frame Seville Cathedral and La Giralda so closely that the city’s most recognisable silhouette becomes part of the room itself. Artisanal ceramic headboards, hand-glazed in the Sevillian tradition, anchor each space, while fringed curtains, an emblem of Andalusian interiors, filter the light and lend the rooms a quiet sense of movement.
Generous king-size beds are fitted with handcrafted mattresses made from natural materials produced exclusively for Serras Sevilla, and guest rooms are skilfully soundproofed, so the noise of the historic centre falls away and only the view remains. Accommodations range from Superior Rooms to the signature suites, including Suite El Marqués (65 sq m), Suite La Giralda and Suite Casa de Dávila (70 sq m each), and The Grand Suite (100 sq m).
Dining at Serras Sevilla
The hotel’s culinary centrepiece is fismuler, marking the acclaimed restaurant’s first opening in Andalusia. Renowned for its commitment to seasonal ingredients and close relationships with producers, fismuler has earned a devoted following in Madrid and Barcelona. In Seville, the concept draws inspiration from the produce of Andalusia, allowing ingredients to take centre stage through cuisine defined by purity, balance, and depth of flavour.
At the heart of Casa Álvaro Dávila, the hotel’s historic Andalusian patio has been thoughtfully restored as an intimate courtyard restaurant.
Above it, the hotel’s jewel-like Almagra Rooftop opens directly to the sky, offering what are widely regarded as the city’s finest uninterrupted views of Seville Cathedral and La Giralda. The historic torreón, the tower-mirador crowned by Aníbal González, presides over the terrace, framing the Cathedral and giving the space its sense of occasion.
An intimate guest-only pool, restaurant, and cocktail bar share the setting. By day, the rooftop offers a serene sanctuary above the old city; in the evening, cocktails and dinner come with views as the illuminated Cathedral and La Giralda glow against the night sky.
