THE VENUE
Seville combines Andalusian culture, flavor, and folklore. This 5-star hotel is just steps away from major attractions like the cathedral and popular leisure spots. An icon of the city that perfectly blends modernity and tradition in a avant-garde style that can only be found in the Andalusian capital.
Housed in a neoclassical building and under a modernist dome that forms the epicenter and heart of the hotel, Hotel Colón Gran Meliá is an icon of Andalusian art and culture. Elegance, warmth, and avant-garde design come together to create an irreplaceable contrast between modernity and tradition in a space that can boast of having been the favorite spot for renowned artists since its opening for the 1929 Universal Exposition. This hotel is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.
