DISCOVER OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD
If you’re a seasoned traveler, you know every city has its heartbeat. And more often than not, it doesn’t echo through the main avenues or in the most photographed spots.
In Seville, that rhythm lives in the streets where neighboors greet each other, in the smell of fresh bread from the corner bakery, in sun-washed facades that let the light in. It pulses through the local projects built to bring beauty, care and authenticity to the urban landscape.
At Plácido y Grata, we believe in that kind of city. A Seville meant to be discovered slowly, on foot, with your senses wide open. And we believe the best way to start is by exploring the neighbourhood.
Everything is within walking distance from our boutique hotel in the heart of Seville. But beyond physical proximity, emotional closeness truly matters: to the city, its people, its stories. That’s why we invite you to explore a neighbourhood full of character, shaped by those who strive to bring value, identity and beauty to this city.
Step out onto Calle Monsalves and let yourself drift toward Plaza del Museo, where time seems to soften. There you’ll find the Museum of Fine Arts, a tranquil treasure nestled among century-old bakeries, cosy bookshops and shops that have stood the test of time, now joined by new projects that honour the area’s spirit and soul.
But Seville doesn’t live in just one barrio. Across the city, you’ll find projects that—though geographically apart—share a common thread: the desire to do things with care, and to do them well.
One is Tenderete, a space that pays homage to Andalusian craftsmanship with a contemporary lens. It’s not just around the corner but worth the walk. Here, you’ll find ceramics, textiles and handmade objects that tell stories of patience, tradition and timeless beauty.
Just a few minutes away, in the Alfalfa neighbourhood, is La Importadora Shop & Gallery—a vibrant concept store where art, fashion and design coexist without hierarchy. It’s a place for open minds and curious eyes, ideal for those seeking inspiration off the beaten path.

Nearby, Isadora Shop combines ethical fashion with thoughtful decor: independent brands, conscious production and pieces selected for their spirit, originality and care.
Just a few steps from the hotel, on Fernán Caballero Street, you’ll find Beirutina, a Lebanese restaurant that opened in 2024 and quickly became one of our favourites when we’re in the mood for something different. From brunch to dinner, with specialty coffee in between, its menu invites you to dive into the flavors of this Mediterranean country. Inspired by 1970s Lebanese cafés, the space blends a minimalist and welcoming atmosphere with the feeling of travel and discovery.
Back in our neighbourhood, we can’t forget Orangerie Plants—a luminous, modern florist redefining botanical design. Its founder, Juanma González, is also the floral artist behind the arrangements that bring life to our hotel. His work speaks our language: simplicity, intentionality and beauty rooted in nature.
At Plácido y Grata, we stand for the singular. We don’t believe in standardized experiences. That’s why our spaces, breakfasts, flowers and recommendations come from the same place: a passion for things done well, and for the people who make them possible.
This isn’t just a list. It’s a way of seeing Seville: through what’s close, different and real. Because if there’s one thing that inspires us every day, it’s the unique character of this city—and the people who help it flourish.
