The Hotel Casas de la Juderia is a former 17th-century palace now renovated into a luxury hotel in Seville. It is a building indelibly associated with the city's heritage, and as such carries the required air of elegance and sophistication. Staff are highly professional living up to the hotel's far-reaching reputation for excellence.

Seville itself is a historic city famous for its Cathedral, the magnificent Barrio de Santa Cruz and the Parque de Maria Luisa. If you decide to leave the hotel, with its typically Andalucian courtyard full of fountains and fresh flowers, you can explore the area's quiet cobbled side street. The Casa de Pilatos (a stunning palace a short walk away from the hotel's doors) is an ideal place to investigate Seville's rich and interesting history.

The facilities

In keeping with its four-star status, facilities at the Hotel Casas de la Juderia are plentiful. Its 80 square-metre rooftop swimming pool is the perfect place to cool off during the sultry Sevillano summer months. Guests can stretch out on loungers next to the pool on the hotel's stunning sun terrace, and indulge in a cold drink from the roof top bar.

The rooms

Each of the Hotel Las Casas de la Juderia's 127 rooms contain original features as well as being decorated with paintings depicting famous scenes from Seville's history. All rooms have terraces, as well as views that overlook the tranquil courtyard outside. Modern amenities blend effortlessly with old characteristics, as evidenced by the complimentary designer toiletries supplied within the marbled en suite bathroom.
