News Releases

CHICAGO, IL (November 9, 2026) - Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today announced the opening of Thompson Seville, a 101-room hotel set within the landmark La Gavidia building on Plaza de la Concordia in the heart of Seville's historic center. The opening brings the Thompson Hotels brand to Andalusia for the first time and marks its second hotel in Spain, following Thompson Madrid.

Thompson Seville brings together hospitality, gastronomy, art and culture within La Gavidia, one of the city’s most distinctive examples of Modernist architecture. Across guestrooms, courtyards, dining spaces and a rooftop overlooking the city, the hotel offers a fresh perspective on Seville’s rich architectural heritage, vibrant social culture and unmistakable sense of place.

“Seville is a city that is lived as much outside the home as within it – over a coffee, around the table or gathering with friends late into the evening. We want Thompson Seville to feel part of that rhythm,” said Olivier Rust, General Manager, Thompson Seville. “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.”

A Modernist Landmark Reimagined

Thompson Seville occupies the landmark La Gavidia building, one of the few examples of Modernist architecture in Seville’s historic center. The transformation, led by Carlos Llansó of Exacorp One and Mario Ronquillo of Estudio 2RDIP, preserves the building’s architectural character while adapting it for a new chapter as a hotel.

Interior design by Jorge Lozano and the team at Proyecto Singular draws inspiration from Seville’s distinctive light, natural materials and cultural heritage, establishing a dialogue between La Gavidia’s architectural legacy and the contemporary character of Thompson Hotels. A palette of ochre, copper, earth and carmine tones is 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.

A Residential Retreat in the Heart of Seville

Thompson Seville features 101 guestrooms and suites designed as residential-style retreats. Warm materials, natural textures and carefully considered details create a calm, residential atmosphere with subtle references to Andalusian character.

Accommodation options range from city-view and deluxe rooms to terrace suites and the signature Thompson Suite, with select accommodations featuring private terraces and views of Seville’s historic skyline. Guests can also enjoy a rooftop fitness center integrated into the hotel’s outdoor spaces, offering panoramic views of the city.

Casa Mayo: A New Culinary Destination

Gastronomy is at the heart of Thompson Seville, led by Casa Mayo, the hotel’s signature restaurant created in collaboration with family-run Andalusian restaurant group Grupo Manolo Mayo, whose roots date to 1963.

Casa Mayo draws on the group’s longstanding approach to seasonal ingredients and traditional Andalusian recipes, with dishes including its signature tomato salad, rice specialties and cuts of almadraba bluefin tuna.

Designed by architect Pablo Baruc, Casa Mayo combines ceramics, wood craftsmanship and glasswork with references to La Gavidia’s Modernist heritage. The restaurant is organized around a central bar, wine cellar, open kitchen, light-filled courtyard and dining room, while a terrace overlooking Plaza de la Concordia sits beneath a magnolia tree. With its own street presence, Casa Mayo welcomes both locals and travelers throughout the day and night.

Dining From Day to Night

Beyond Casa Mayo, Thompson Seville’s social spaces follow the rhythm of the city from morning into the evening. The Lobby Bar serves specialty coffee, light breakfasts, Andalusian tapas, sharing plates and cocktails featuring local flavors and ingredients, including fino, manzanilla and oloroso sherries and Seville oranges. The hotel’s signature La Hora, held daily from 6 to 7 p.m., pairs a rotating selection of chilled Jerez sherries with a seasonal bite.

Above the city, the Rooftop Bar and Pool transitions from a relaxed daytime poolside retreat to a social setting at sunset, with music, spritzes, chilled wines and a casual menu designed for sharing. Andalusian favorites including salmorejo, croquettes, gildas, shrimp fritters and marinated anchovies bring a distinctly local character to the rooftop experience.

Art Rooted in Seville

Art is woven throughout Thompson Seville, creating a dialogue between La Gavidia’s architectural heritage and the art of today. Curated by Luisa Olazábal’s studio, the collection spans the restaurant, lobby, reception, corridors and guestrooms, featuring works by contemporary artists including Jorge Parra, José Cháfer, Kepa Garraza, Agustín Esteso, Laura Alandes, Nanda Hagenaars, Daniel Esteban, Macarena Gross, Miguel Gómez Losada, María Morenés and Marta Bermejo.

Through murals, sculpture, photography and portraiture, the collection explores themes of light, memory, architecture and Andalusian identity, creating a visual narrative that carries throughout the hotel and deepens its connection to Seville.

A New Place to Gather

Thompson Seville offers 240 square meters of flexible meeting and event space across four rooms, complemented by an interior courtyard and integrated audiovisual technology for meetings, celebrations and events. The hotel also plans to host a rotating calendar of art, music, gastronomy and cultural programming designed to bring together travelers, locals and Seville’s creative community.

With its opening, Thompson Seville brings a new gathering place to the heart of the city, shaped by Seville’s food, art, design and social culture.
