Hotel Villa De La Palmera

The hotel Villa de la Palmera is a former private home of the Marquis and Marquise of Castilleja, built in the early 20th century and renovated for use as a hotel in 1999. The owners chose to leave much of the original furnishings in the home, including an impressive collection of paintings and antique furniture which the family has acquired over several centuries. The two living rooms feature works by 15th century painter Bartolome Esteban Murillo, fireplaces, and marble or parquet floors.

The terrace of Hotel Villa de la Palmera features tables and chairs overlooking the pool and gardens. The pool is shaded by several types of trees: varieties of palms, poplars, pines and orange. Through the main door guests enter to the foyer with the two living rooms on either side. The reception and dining room are located at the end of the main hall. A stairway leads to the first floor sitting room, off of which are several guest rooms. A second stairway to the ground floor leads to another small lounge and the remaining guest rooms.

The Hotel Villa de la Palmera is located on the Avenida de la Palmera, site of the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. The location is outside the city center, yet convenient to many of the green spaces of the city, including the Maria Luisa Park. Guests can reach the city center in a variety of ways only 5 minutes drive. The Avenida de la Palmera is lined with palm trees and home to the beautiful buildings constructed for the 1929 Expo, many of which have extensive gardens and now serve as consulates, private residences or official university buildings.
