Querencia de Sevilla’s seventh-floor rooftop area (one of the highest terraces in the old town) is defined by lemon-yellow decor, a relaxing pool, and 360-degree views of Seville. During the day, surround yourself with views of the Giralda tower and the rest of the city as you take a dip in the infinite pool and unwind on one of the lounge chairs. However, the evening is when the magic happens. From the roof, you can see the Cathedral all lit up, and locals and guests alike stop by for bar snacks and cocktails.

For traditional food and drinks, the on-site La Maestria Restaurant and Bar, is the perfect representation of the history and traditions of Seville. Classic Andalusian cuisine using ingredients procured through local suppliers include gazpacho, cured ham, tapas, and fish. It’s served in an inviting space defined by art, royal blue couches, and pink-accented wallpaper, and the tapas are served on floral plates typical of the region. The restaurant’s outside patio is a true oasis, showcasing colors that represent the famous citrus trees of Andalusia and views of the main square. At the bar, the focus is on a wide array of sherries, and there’s traditional Spanish music like flamenco.

Things to do around the hotel

You can experience the deep-rooted tradition of flamenco at Tablao Flamenco El Arenal. Before the show, guests have an hour or so to try an assortment of local tapas dishes like Iberian pork and Salmon tartare. As the lights are dimmed and the show begins, sit in awe of the vibrant dresses, swift movements, and musical art of the performers.

Regardless of how you choose to explore the city, Querencia De Sevilla is never too far away.
