PLÁCIDO Y GRATA
We are huge fans of the southern mainland part of Spain. Every time we visit, we give ourselves an excuse to spend a few nights in Seville. The city is a melting pot of culture, and in the past few years has grown significantly. Hotels, restaurants and hospitality groups have been investing in this colourful, cultural and decadent hub for quite some time and we are here for it. Plácido y Grata is the latest newbie on the boutique hotel scene, which is already making quite a splash thanks to its creative and unique approach.
The quaint boutique hotel, designed by Your Living Space Atelier is located in the city centre. It’s hard to believe so, as once you take a step in the reception area, time stands still and you are in a mini urban oasis where contemporary design meets traditional elements. Plácido y Grata has 15 rooms, which includes the suite, standard and deluxe as options. It also boasts a cute café, cocktail bar with patio and a concept store across the road.
OUR STORY
The one thing that really stands out at this hotel is the inner Andalusian patio and arches. It’s a constant reminder that you are staying somewhere historical. The space was previously a manor house from the 19th century. Throughout the hotel, guests will see gentle nods to the yesteryears that have been carefully curated to create a simple yet pretty area that warms your spirit every time you return from a day out.
Breakfast was a treat every morning, with a chef on standby for made to order items, located in an open breakfast room adjacent to the patio. We enjoyed omelettes, freshly baked bread and coffee from NOMAD COFFEE. Again, no space is left untouched from design touches. It’s worth also noting that child seats are available for those staying with children in Seville.
Rooms encompass an effortless Scandinavian design which is complemented by warm hues referencing the Mediterranean. Take for example the bathtub in one of the deluxe bedrooms which takes centre stage with a backdrop of terracotta tiles and modern design fixtures. We stayed in one of the suites, which was a wonderful and relaxing retreat for our stay. The Ridge Vase by Muuto, with elegantly arranged flowers from Orangerie are particularly welcoming. Some of the suites have a large window that leads out to a private terrace with a bathtub and outdoor shower.
