Silken Al-Andalus

The 4-star Silken Al-Andalus hotel is set in Seville, in the beautiful Andalucia region of Spain. It's a comfortable urban hotel only a few minutes away from the historic centre of Seville, whose elegant white arches and acres of glass supply an oasis of tranquility in one of Europe's oldest and most fascinating cities.

The Silken Al-Andalus has an incredible choice of 623 soundproofed rooms, in 11 different accommodation options that include Comfort, Club and Family rooms, as well as some sixth-floor exclusive designer suites. There are optional terraces, pool views and bespoke luxury services, according to your individual needs, but all rooms have air conditioning, international TV channels and free WiFi. You can take breakfast in the Guadalquivir buffet, get all-day snacks in the terrace cafe, a feast of gastronomic delights in the gourmet Carmen restaurant and live music in the Piano Bar. If all this sounds too hedonistic, there's also a fitness centre and a pool set in acres of lush gardens with a poolside bar. For that special occasion, the hotel caters for magnificent weddings and banquets, and has several meeting and conference halls.

The Old Town of Seville extends over 4 square kilometres and contains three unmissable World Heritage Sites - the Cathedral, the Alcázar palace and the General Archive of the Indies. Some additional modern marvels include the 21st century Metropol Parasol, which offers some of the best views in the city, as well as antiquities, a market, restaurants and a public plaza for events.
