Thompson Seville is now open, Hyatt announced on November 9, 2026, with 101 guestrooms and suites inside the landmark La Gavidia building on Plaza de la Concordia, in the heart of Seville's historic center. According to Hyatt's release, it brings the Thompson Hotels brand to Andalusia for the first time. It's also the brand's second hotel in Spain, following Thompson Madrid.
For World of Hyatt members, the practical news is that Hyatt says members get World of Hyatt benefits on eligible stays at Thompson Hotels. That makes this a new Hyatt option right in the old center of Seville. If you followed our coverage of Thompson Rome's opening, this is the same brand, now in Andalusia. Here's what the hotel has and where you'll eat and drink.
What Happened
Hyatt Hotels Corporation announced the opening from Chicago on November 9, 2026. The hotel sits in La Gavidia, which Hyatt describes as one of the few examples of Modernist architecture in Seville's historic center.
The conversion was led by Carlos Llansó of Exacorp One and Mario Ronquillo of Estudio 2RDIP. According to Hyatt, the work keeps the building's architectural character while adapting it for use as a hotel. Interior design comes from Jorge Lozano and the team at Proyecto Singular, who drew on Seville's light, natural materials and cultural heritage.
The palette runs to ochre, copper, earth and carmine tones. Those are layered with natural materials, handcrafted details, latticework and native vegetation, while changing light and shadow shape the hotel's patios, public spaces, guestrooms and terraces.
The hotel's general manager, Olivier Rust, framed the opening around how locals use the city. "We want Thompson Seville to feel part of that rhythm," Rust said. "Whether someone is staying with us for a few days, meeting friends at Casa Mayo or coming up to the rooftop at sunset, our hope is that the hotel becomes a place people return to and make their own."
The Rooms at Thompson Seville
All 101 guestrooms and suites are designed as residential-style retreats, in Hyatt's words. Room types range from city-view and deluxe rooms up to terrace suites and the signature Thompson Suite.
Select rooms have private terraces and views of Seville's historic skyline. There's also a rooftop fitness center built into the hotel's outdoor spaces, with panoramic views of the city.
Where You'll Eat and Drink
Here's what the hotel serves, and where:
- Casa Mayo: the signature restaurant, created with family-run Andalusian group Grupo Manolo Mayo, whose roots date to 1963. Dishes include its signature tomato salad, rice specialties and cuts of almadraba bluefin tuna. Architect Pablo Baruc designed it around a central bar, wine cellar, open kitchen, courtyard and dining room, plus a terrace on Plaza de la Concordia beneath a magnolia tree.
- Lobby Bar: specialty coffee, light breakfasts, Andalusian tapas, sharing plates and cocktails featuring fino, manzanilla and oloroso sherries and Seville oranges.
- La Hora: a daily ritual from 6 to 7 p.m. that pairs a rotating selection of chilled Jerez sherries with a seasonal bite.
- Rooftop Bar and Pool: a daytime poolside spot that turns social at sunset, with music, spritzes, chilled wines and a sharing menu of salmorejo, croquettes, gildas, shrimp fritters and marinated anchovies.
Casa Mayo has its own street presence and, per Hyatt, welcomes locals and travelers throughout the day and night.
Art, Meetings and Events
The art collection was curated by Luisa Olazábal's studio and runs through the restaurant, lobby, reception, corridors and guestrooms. It includes work by contemporary artists such as Jorge Parra, Kepa Garraza, Laura Alandes, Macarena Gross and Marta Bermejo, across murals, sculpture, photography and portraiture.
For groups, Thompson Seville has 240 square meters of flexible meeting and event space across four rooms. That's backed by an interior courtyard and built-in audiovisual technology. Hyatt also says the hotel plans a rotating calendar of art, music, food and cultural programming aimed at travelers and locals alike.
