Tripplo’s hotel summary
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 20 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Hotel Colón, a Gran Meliá Hotel - The Leading Hotels of the World is best for travellers prioritizing wellness and traditional Andalusian dining right in the historic Seville centre. It features a dedicated spa, fitness center, and a rooftop terrace offering panoramic city views. Keep in mind that valet parking incurs high daily fees, and there is limited outdoor space at ground level.
Guests score it 9.1 out of 10 — the average across the 8 hotels we list in Seville is 9.2.
- Situated in the heart of Seville, the hotel sits within a ten-minute walk of major cultural landmarks, including the Cathedral and Giralda Tower, making exploration effortless.

- While private parking is available, the daily rates can be quite high. Guests might consider nearby public garages as a more economical alternative for longer stays.
