Alminar is a new hotel, opened in March 2.005 in one of Seville´s most classical buildings: the one that for more than half a century belonged to Foronda, the leading company in Spain for hand-made bright silk shawls and Flamenco dresses.
The building has been restored to be adapted to the particular necessities of a small hotel of only 12 rooms in which attention to detail is a priority in order to offer the guests a cozy space in the very heart of Seville, just 50 metres from the Cathedral and its minaret ( or alminar ), the Giralda, true symbol of the capital of Andalucía.
Even though the position of the hotel is very central, the street where is located is a quiet one so your peaceful rest is more than guaranteed.
The continental Buffet Breakfast is settled every morning at the central Sevillian-style patio which has been carefully restored with tiles which perfectly match the original to become the meeting point where to have a coffe or a tea ( it´s on the house ! ) with any other guest or share your view of the city and its people with the hotel stuff.
On this point, a special comment has to be made as the hotel has the most valuable information on Seville and its surroundings and some of the unique tips that only Sevillians have. This is the true essence of Alminar because the staff know how and will be pleased to help the visitor to have a memorable stay in one of the most intriguing and beautiful cities in the World.

Anreise:
The address is calle Álvarez Quintero, 52, very near the Cathedral, so you need to follow directions to the city centre ( Centro -Ciudad- ). In any case, the most recommendable thing is to get to Alminar by taxi as the hotel is in a pedestrian street of the city centre.
There are taxis at the Airport which charge approximately 24 euros for the trip to the centre and also at the Main Train Station of Santa Justa ( around 5 euros ).
There is also a bus transfer from the Airport to the city centre ( 2,50 euros ) which leaves the clients at Puerta de Jerez, just 8 minutes walk from the hotel. This one picks up clients from the train station, as well.
If you arrive by car, the best option is leaving your car either at the Plaza Nueva Public Parking ( 5 minutes walk from the hotel but, generally, busier ) or at the Puerta de Jerez - Avenida de Roma Public Parking ( 8 minutes from the hotel, generally easier to get a space ).
