The much-anticipated 180m skyscraper in La Cartuja, designed by Argentinian architect Cesar Pelli, split opinions in Seville (unsurprisingly). But there’s no denying this hotel, on the tower's 25th to 37th floors, boasts spectacular panoramic views. Every room overlooks either the city or countryside, while the sauna has a view of the Río Guadalquivir and Triana neighbourhood; the bar serves excellent cocktails.
