Hotel with a heated pool in Seville

A large outdoor pool, a covered pool in the spa, or both: hotels are often the best equipped for a warm swim. In Seville, several houses and apartments in the centre and in Triana hide a small private heated pool. Here are the 5 hotels I've selected in Seville, all rated at least 8/10; I particularly recommend Meliá Sevilla, Barceló Sevilla Renacimiento and Hotel Vértice Sevilla.

These places don't have a confirmed heated pool, but they do have a hot tub: the water is hot all year round. A good way to relax in the warm.

Is the pool heated all year round in Seville?

None of the places selected in Seville clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. Meliá Sevilla, Barceló Sevilla Renacimiento and Hotel Vértice Sevilla have an indoor pool, sheltered from the wind. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.

Yes: Meliá Sevilla, Barceló Sevilla Renacimiento and Hotel Las Casas de la Judería also have a hot tub in addition to the heated pool. No confirmed heated pool, but a hot tub: Eurostars Torre Sevilla.

How I check

The word "heated" on a booking page isn't enough. Every place must have a rating of at least 8/10 (or 4/5) and carries one of these four levels.

Confirmed by guests

Guests mention the heated water in their reviews, with the season when they say so.

Confirmed by a reviewer

A journalist or guide who stayed there describes the heated pool.

Advertised only

The hotel or the platform says so, but I haven't yet found a review that confirms it.

Indoor pool

Heating isn't specified, but the water is sheltered from the wind and cold air. Ask for the temperature before you book.

Places I left out

I left these out because guests report water colder than advertised, or because no heating or indoor pool is mentioned.
