Hotel Silken Al Andalus Palace Seville Spain

Hotel Silken Al Andalus Palace Seville Spain

During our visit to Seville, we stayed in Silken Al-Andalus Palace, a 4-star hotel, elegant, grand and suitable for couples, families or big groups of friends. The hotel is conveniently located in Heliopolis district, just 10 mins drive from the Seville’s historic center.  Al Andalus Palace is one of the best hotels for my Spain tour.

Hotel Silken Al Andalus Palace Seville Spain

The hotel is huge and the interior is really chic and stylish upon entering the main lobby. You will notice lots of red decorated in this hotel, very spacious, neat and clean. Some Spanish arts, (bullfighter costume) was displayed at the front lobby which makes the ambient very Spanish.

Room Review

The room is equipped with minibar, air conditioning, wireless internet access, satellite TV, safety deposit box and a bathroom.

Bathroom Review

Surprised to find out there is a double basin in the bathroom.

Hotel Silken Al Andalus Palace Seville Spain

The bathroom wall is covered in marbles which make the bathroom looking a little cold but it certainly gives a classical feel.

Bidet

Bidet seems to be very common in hotels in Spain.

The bidet was born in France in the 1600s as a washing basin for private parts. Bidet is bathtub-like fixture situated next to the toilet. It is the second steps after you have used the toilet. If you have used the high-tech toilet in Japan, you will find bidet is so extra and it is so much trouble as it takes an extra step to hop to bidet wash.

Free complimentary of toiletries are available and displayed neatly at the bathroom.

Dinner Buffet Review

Dinner has a wide variety of selection from tapas, pescadito frito, calamari, croquetas, sweets, quesos, jamon, you named it they served it. One of the best selection of Spanish and international cuisine among all the hotels that I stayed in Spain.

Ajoblanco

This is a popular Spanish cold soup from Granada and Malaga. Made of bread, crushed almonds, garlic, water, olive oil, salt.  The look is similar to our “Taofu fa” or Soya beancurd.

Jamón & Cheese Corner

Jamón is the national food for Spain, it is ham in English. Two things I learn about Jamón, the Jamón Iberico and Jamón Serrano.

Gazpacho

This is a traditional dish famous in Seville, Andalucia. It’s made of blended vegetable & tomatoes and it served cold. This is a great refreshing food for the summer, served as a cold snack or starter.  It is a classic of Spanish cuisine originated from the Andalucia region.

Juice Corner

Tomatoes Juice in a bottle

Tomatoes seem like a favorite ingredient in Spaniards’ diet.  You will notice tomatoes culture when you traveling in Spain.  No wonder they even have a festival dedicated to tomatoes, called La Tomatina! 🙂

Local brand – Cola Cao

This is a sugary chocolate drink with vitamins and mineral that originated in Spain.

Spanish Pate

The small packets look like fruits jams but these are not. It is a paste consisting of a forcemeat that at least contains liver. Other common additions include ground meat from pork, poultry, fish or beef, fat, vegetables, herbs, spice, and wine or brandy.

There are some machines for cardio but I could not find the weight sections.

The gym is small and the layout is a bit weird with a steep stair up to the bathrooms.

Final thoughts:

Hotel Silken Al Andalus Palace offers a good price and great for travelers in groups as the hotel is very spacious. It also caters for conference groups activities. Even if the hotel is not located in the heart of the city center of Seville, I still highly recommend this hotel because of the good ambient and huge selection of choices for their dinner and breakfast. I have to mention the food was very good.

Taxi is always outside the hotel so getting around is not an issue, and it does not cost too much if you are going to Seville Cathedral or Santa Cruz Neighborhood.

Spain is really a beautiful country to visit, the architectures, the culture, and the food is just amazing. Things are cheaper compared to other parts of European countries.

Dear Chad,

Seville is such a beautiful city with beautiful mosaics tiles in many of the old architectures and in Plaza de España! The Hotel Silken Al Andalus Palace is located slighter outside of the city center but with a taxi, it only takes a while to reach.

The hotel is great for big group and conference meeting groups. A little distance from Seville city but you can still catch a taxi, just 10 mins to reach the attraction in Seville.
