Casa Orzáez, Sr. Cangrejo, Leartá, Barra Baja… these are just a few of the names representing Seville’s new cuisine – and its new lease of life.
Although it’s perhaps the most beautiful city in Spain, Seville has long since shed its reputation for being not very disruptive and sometimes quite old-fashioned. The city is jam-packed full of young, enterprising chefs we’ve been keeping an eye on, who look ahead with a focus on innovation and ingenuity, without losing sight of tradition. But because no one wants to miss out on the classic Seville experience, iconic restaurants such as Cañabota, Jaylu, Casa Ruperto and Yebra shouldn’t be overlooked. Adding to the culinary momentum are a new cohort of cocktail bars: Naked and Famous (yes, in English), Plácido y Grata, which is also a charming hotel, and Tremenda Muela are a few examples.
The night is long and exciting in the new version of Seville.
Hotels are also opening in quick succession and international brands, in particular, are betting on the city, which will soon rank as the third most significant luxury destination in Spain (after Madrid and Mallorca). Among the recent arrivals turning heads are cosy La Casa del Limonero, Querencia de Sevilla by Autograph Collection and Cristine Bedfor (the third – and smartest – hotel from one of the coolest Spanish brands).
Serras Sevilla will soon be unveiled in a historic building near La Giralda bell tower – and other projects already underway include Six Senses – on the Caprichosa estate in Gerena, on the outskirts of the city, which was owned by William Randolph Hearst’s granddaughter – Thompson Sevilla, on Plaza de la Gavidia; a Luxury Collection by Marriott in a former tobacco factory, and a Kimpton in the beautiful 13th-century Convent of San Agustín. Four Seasons will touch down in 2027, occupying the Generali building in Plaza Nueva.

How to plan it: This growth is accompanied by new international air routes, such as the recent ones to Düsseldorf, Baden-Baden, Copenhagen, Basel and Istanbul, while the launch of direct routes to Miami and Beijing is confirmed for 2026. Meanwhile, the high-speed train linking Madrid and Seville remains a fast and comfortable way to reach the city from the Spanish capital, with numerous daily departures and a journey time of just two and a half hours.
Seville, me gusta.
We are flying back…
