When we think of the Murillo, one word comes to mind: professionalism. This establishment prides itself on service and cleanliness. If you can navigate the alleyways with luggage, you will have no hitches here.
The former—and famous—Flamenco tablao and hotel has gone through many renovations since it opened its doors in the 1960s. Its most recent makeover was just three months ago and includes knight's armor and a replica of the opulent king's chair in the main lobby. (The original can be found in the Alcazar.)
An eager desk manager Vicente stood like a proud parent in the doorway of a double standard. White marble floors meet flirty, freshly painted pink walls, rod-iron bed frames, and starched linens. Bathrooms have extendable shaving mirrors. Here's a hint: room No. 501 has great views of the Cathedral.
If you have the extra cash, spring for the split-level Junior Suite. You'll pay between €85 and €160 per night for the luxury of sloping beamed ceilings, plasma TV, and regal fabrics.
Apartments, rated higher with three "keys," are more generous. All 14 are outfitted with a high ceilings, mini-fridge, granite countertops, modern vitroceramic stove, microwave, drawers stocked with utensils, and an eating space. Our favorite detail was the heavy Mudejar wooden doors.
