A historic Seville hotel beside the Alcázar, with garden ceremonies and a Royal Ballroom seating 250.
The Setting
Hotel Alfonso XIII, a Luxury Collection hotel, stands at San Fernando 2 in Seville's historic Santa Cruz quarter, next to the Royal Alcázar and the cathedral with its Giralda tower. King Alfonso XIII opened it almost a century ago, built to house guests of Seville's Ibero-American Exhibition, and it reopened after a full renovation in more recent times.
The hotel does not publish a total room count. It has premium rooms, grand deluxe rooms with terraces and seven suite categories, topped by the Alfonso XIII suite with its own dining room for eight. There is an outdoor pool, and Seville airport is about 12 km away.
The day itself
The hotel markets itself as a wedding venue, with nine event rooms. The gardens host ceremonies and are listed for 300 at a reception or 200 at a banquet. The Royal Ballroom, the Salón Real, seats up to 250, Híspalis takes 180 seated, and Cartuja and Andalucía suit smaller weddings, with Andalucía also offered for vows. The inner courtyard works for drinks, and the Torreón on the third floor has city views for a welcome cocktail.
Marriott certified wedding planners help with menus, flowers and suppliers. Ask the team about civil or symbolic ceremonies and the music curfew.
Where your guests stay
Staying on site puts guests in the middle of Seville, within walking distance of the cathedral, the Alcázar and the old town's tapas bars. Room numbers are not published, so ask the team whether a block can be held for a big guest list and which nearby hotels they suggest as overflow. Seville airport is about 12 km away. The hotel does not run a shuttle, but airport cars can be booked on request. The pool is open in the daytime, handy for a hot afternoon, and Bar Americano or the San Fernando courtyard restaurant suit a quiet drink.
Plan a morning walk through the Santa Cruz lanes for the photographs before guests arrive. The old quarter is on the doorstep, so you get Seville's streets without any travel.
