A stay at Alfonso XIII doesn’t come cheap but neither are its accommodations – far, far from it. Cornered by towering palms, the sumptuous palace crowds near the banks of the Guadalquivir, inaugurated by the King in 1929 for the Ibero-American exposition. The rooms surround a grand Mudéjar courtyard shadowed by marble columns that become arches, and all are appointed in the most audacious Sevillano style. You pay, as they say, for the atmosphere and perhaps for a drink or two at the elegant outdoor bar. The pool is an oasis in a green desert. The guest can’t help but feel like a king or queen, which is exactly what the architect intended when the palace was designed to accommodate the bigwigs of the exposition.
