Gravina 51
El Arenal, Seville, Spain
Gravina 51 offers the atmosphere of a restored palace house with an accessible, residential scale. Wrought-iron balconies, arches and tiled details establish the setting, while rooms mix traditional decorative touches with contemporary bathrooms. Its patios are a particular draw, and selected rooms add private outdoor space. We would choose it for a couple who want a characterful central base and prefer exploring the city’s restaurants to organising the trip around extensive hotel facilities.
