The Pool at Hotel Alfonso XIII, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Seville

"There's also a good-sized outdoor swimming pool and tennis courts"

"The hotel’s lush gardens surround a luminous pool"

"The public areas, including the decadent marbled lobby, are centered around a patio beautiful enough to tempt guests away from sightseeing, thanks to its own marble fountain and swimming pool"

"Hidden in the gardens is a fair-size pool that is a godsend during the sweltering summer months, and shaded cabanas fill up fast with those that want to avoid the intense sun"

"For full-on opulence, take a dip in the grand outdoor pool, walk the well-manicured gardens, or enjoy a meal at the elegant San Fernando restaurant, offering Andalusian cuisine in the flora-filled courtyard"

"Though nowhere near as opulent, the five-pearl Hotel Palacio de Villapanes is a more intimate alternative with a rooftop plunge pool, small spa, and tapas restaurant"
