Hotel in Seville - A Labour of Love
Located in the former Jewish quarter of Seville's Santa Cruz neighbourhood and close to sites, shopping, bars, and restaurants, Casa Nº 7 Hotel still manages to remain an elegant oasis within the bustling centre of Andalucia's capital. Built in 1847 as a private residence, Hotel 'Casa Nº 7' has an intimacy that retains all the individuality of a private home.
Casa Nº 7 hotel is the brainchild of Señor Gonzalo del Río y González-Gordon, member of the González-Byass family. Señor Gonzalo del Río had dreamed of opening a small boutique hotel that would feel to its guests more like a stay in a private mansion than a stay in a public hotel. He searched throughout the Santa Cruz area for what he hoped would be the perfect choice and he came upon Casa Nº 7, then a dilapidated building. |

| Its restoration was a challenge that lasted four long years but it soon became a labour of love. Señor Gonzalo del Río is a dedicated Anglophile and the aesthetic of Casa Nº 7 Hotel is a testament to this fact. He painstakingly restored the building to not only reflect a mid-19th century Andalucian mansion but also to reflect his love for all things British. | |
| Upon entering, the visitor is welcomed by an antique-filled courtyard that is enclosed by a glass roof. White Spanish marble covers the floors and the stairs while old paintings and prints tastefully adorn the walls. The first floor contains a magnificent drawing room with a fireplace, sofas, and a well-stocked honesty bar containing many products from the family sherry business. | |
| The first floor also accommodates the breakfast room. Each morning the butler wearing impeccable livery and faultlessly white gloves greets guests for breakfast and serves a delicious breakfast in peace and tranquillity. This is one of the many touches that make a stay at hotel Casa Nº 7 so very special. This fine attention to detail is part of the reason that Casa Nº 7 hotel was voted 'The Best Small Hotel' by Tatler Magazine. | ![]() |
