Mercer Sevilla; the city’s most exclusive boutique hotel
In a quiet street of the Andalusian capital one finds the Hotel Mercer Sevilla, a genuinely exclusive, 5-star ?Gran Lujo? 12-room boutique property. Here Seville period grandeur, including an exceptional grand marble staircase and light filled courtyard lobby lounge, meets a 21st century European minimalism of designer furniture and bespoke features.
There?s a Manhattan-style cocktail bar, fine-dining restaurant, private rooftop pool terrace, and exquisitely prepared guest rooms with fabulous signature Mercer bathrooms, writes Andrew Forbes.
Background
Along this leafy Seville street stand some of the finest bourgeois mansion houses of the Andalusian capital. Here the super-rich of Seville?s Golden Age built their urban family homes, known as Casa Palacios, sparing no expense in conveying their wealth, fast-tracking themselves into elegant high-society. After all, thanks to Spain?s discovery of the Americas, Seville had become an epicentre of global trade. This is the chic setting for the Mercer Sevilla. Mercer Sevilla is one of only two 5-star ?Gran Lujo? properties in the capital
We’ve been following the progress of this property (see our news section)Â for a few years, from the time the project was first announced by Mercer Hotels, through the lengthy, painstaking renovation of the once abandoned noble house, to its launch in November 2016, as a strikingly contemporary hotel framed by the period extravagance of its palatial setting.
