Cómo llegar y contactar
El hotel cuenta con dos grandes bazas: su spa, que es uno de los más valorados de Sevilla, y una preciosa piscina en la azotea.
Junto a la iglesia de la Magdalena, el antiguo Majestic, querido por los sevillanos, ha sido siempre el lugar de encuentro de personalidades del mundo taurino; antes de las corridas de toros, los toreros siguen viniendo a vestirse en una de sus suites. Desde que fue restaurado en el año 2000, y renovado en el 2007 por diseñadores famosos como Starck y Wanders, este hotel de 5 estrellas inaugurado en 1929 para la Exposición Iberoamericana es simplemente espléndido. En el vestíbulo de entrada, un amplio y moderno vestíbulo, rematado por una gran cúpula, da una idea de la situación y el confort del hotel. Habitaciones amplias, luminosas y acogedoras, con cama de matrimonio, televisión de pantalla plana, muebles de diseño chic. Debido a la cercanía del Museo de Bellas Artes, cada planta está dedicada a un pintor, siete en total, y Goya al final. Sin olvidar el Balneario, uno de los más populares de Sevilla, con hammam, sauna, baños turcos, sala de deportes.... Desde 2017 una hermosa piscina en el tejado. Aquí es donde Obama debía quedarse durante su estancia en Sevilla en julio de 2016, si los acontecimientos actuales no lo hubieran llevado a cancelar su viaje. Si no tienes la oportunidad de quedarte allí, puedes venir a ver los espectáculos de flamenco que se ofrecen regularmente en el bar del hotel.

Will be back!
Sin duda resaltar el servicio del personal de cafetería y comedor. Buscaron todo tipo de opciones para ofrecerle al niño y adecuar su cena, todo ello fuera de carta.
Mil gracias, volveremos.
Recuerdos desde Bilbao
We booked five days for our honeymoon in one of the suites on the 7th floor including a big terrace and jacuzzi.
ROOM: the room was spacious and overall clean, in particular the bathroom was quite modern. There was some wear here and there, nothing terrible, but for a 5* at 1k€ a night (roughly) it’s probably deserving of some renovations. I shouldn’t have to call maintenance to extend the sunroof, and the toilet door shouldn’t jump off the rails.
HOTEL: the hotel’s location is fantastically central, and you’re in walking distance to many things the city has to offer. The Red Level lounge underperforms, it’s a small room with some drinks and so-so snacks. I see no reason to spend any time here ever other than while waiting for your room to be ready.
SERVICE: our room was turned several times a day, staff is always super friendly. A special shoutout goes to the really nice cleaning staff. When we had to call for maintenance or anything else the response was always prompt. My expectation for a 5* has been fully met here.
FOOD: we ordered breakfast via room service one day, and this was hands down the biggest letdown. For 15€ for a single avocado toast I expect better than a soggy slice of toast, it was inedible. Our complaint to this was never met with any response — absolutely not worthy of a 5*! The minibar is, as everywhere else, hopelessly overpriced, and makes you just not want to use it at all, what a shame. As for regular breakfast or the restaurants, we didn’t use those — and why would you? There’s so much amazing food in the area, go out and experience it!
AMENITIES: we really only used our private jacuzzi. We certainly enjoyed it, though it was visibly a bit older, and we had to call maintenance once due to the water level. But relaxing in it in the afternoon sun high above the city was a real pleasure.
All in all I’d say the hotel is a great choice and performs really well in general, though falls just a tad bit short for a 5* at this price point. We don’t regret staying here at all, though, and had a great time. The biggest shame is the really poor room service food, when enjoying breakfast on our private terrace would otherwise be a unique experience.
