Sevilla is experiencing a significant hotel expansion, with around 2,000 new rooms expected to be added to the city’s offerings between 2026 and 2027. This growth will be driven by new 3 and 4-star hotels, as well as luxury establishments in historic buildings and lifestyle-oriented proposals.
The new offerings respond to a transformation in demand, as Sevilla receives an increasing number of international visitors and shows improvements in its operational indicators. This has sparked the interest of large global groups and Spanish chains seeking to grow in urban tourism.
Historic Buildings and International Brands
The Serras Sevilla, a 5-star Gran Lujo hotel, has been formally inaugurated in a historic building designed by Sevillian architect Aníbal González between 1915 and 1917. The establishment features 43 rooms, a restaurant, and a rooftop bar.
Later this year, the Thompson Sevilla is expected to open in the building that formerly housed the central police station in Plaza de la Gavidia, in the heart of the city’s historic center. The luxury lifestyle hotel will be the second of the Hyatt brand in Spain, with 101 rooms, a restaurant, and a rooftop bar with a pool.
