CoolRooms Palacio Villapanés
Santa Catalina, Seville, Spain
Palacio Villapanés makes a virtue of the contrast between an eighteenth-century palace and contemporary hotel design. Historic architectural details remain the visual centre of the experience, while modern furnishings keep the rooms from feeling like museum pieces. The setting suits travellers who enjoy the texture of an old building and want a distinctive place to retreat between visits. We would allow time simply to appreciate the palace, rather than using it only as a bed for the night.
