While spending time at the Don Pedro, we had the pleasure of meeting Pedro himself, the head of this two-star hotel. Although of short stature, he is commanding, carrying himself much like Al Pacino in the "Godfather."
This Sevilleno palace actually belonged to Civil Guard during Franco's reign. It's fitting then that the hotel is spotlessly clean. Each room, named after a different monument in Seville, is decorated exactly the same with blues and yellows. The matching furniture looks as if it was bought yesterday. Televisions are hung on the walls and receive satellite signals.
Five of the 24 rooms have private terraces looking out over the quiet street below. Make sure to request ahead. For the past 40 years, people have thrown flowers from them as religious floats pass by during Easter celebrations.
Check out the black-and-white photograph in the lobby downstairs documenting the hotel's history. The hotel is nearest Alameda de Hercules, popular for trendy bars and cafés. A continental breakfast is included and coffee or tea is on the house.
