But if you enjoy the charm of the quirky, the soulfulness of the old-fashion, and the patina of the finely aged, please reserve your stay at this delightful 5-star hotel. It earns its high-star rating because you are given a good deal of real estate. All rooms are junior-suite sized or larger, with mini kitchens. The 15-foot high ceilings add to the luxurious sense of spaciousness.
We were welcomed to room #20 by a fine bowl of fruit that was replenished daily. It was refreshing to return each afternoon to these sweet natural treats; enjoy them while relaxing in one of the plush robes. Because this room is located in the rear, overlooking the most private of the hotel’s 3 patios, we enjoyed a rambling walk up the spectacularly tiled staircase to the first floor, and then around the breakfast patio and the main patio, through a small passageway emerging into the peace and quiet of our patio.
The staff is very friendly and helpful. Late in the game they managed to find us a marvelous restaurant that was willing to alter its fixed menu to suit my vegetarian diet for New Year’s Eve.
Breakfast is plentiful, including cooked-to-order omelets; a wide selection of Spain’s great culinary love, jamon; fresh and dried fruit; juices; breads with butter and jam; yogurt and cereals. You have the opportunity to break your fast at tables set up in the second patio or in a cozy, wood-beamed ceilinged room.
A stay in the Hotel Casa Imperial will help steep you Sevilla’s history. The Marquis of Tarifa commissioned the building in 1530. The marquis’s own home, the Casa Pilatos, located around the corner, is now a house museum; it is well worth a visit. The marquis’s majordomo, Alonso de Villafranca, used Casa Imperial to house his master’s guests and he lived here himself. It has been a hotel since 1995.
