ABBA in Seville: The Untold Story You Won't Believe! (My Honest Review!)

Okay, folks, buckle up, because I'm about to spill the beans on ABBA in Seville: The Untold Story You Won't Believe! – and trust me, believe it or not, believing in hotels is kinda my job. This place? Well, it's a lot. A lot of everything. Trying to cram it all into a review is like trying to eat a giant paella with a plastic fork. But hey, I'll give it a damn good go!

(First, the obligatory SEO-fueled preamble… because, well, you gotta.)

(Deep breath… now for the rambling, honest truth!)

The Arrival: Am I in ABBA or a Monastery?!

Right off the bat, the exterior is… well, it's substantial. Definitely not what I was expecting. It's grand, imposing, and honestly, felt a little like I was about to enter a fancy monastery. Thankfully, not a monastery (phew!). The Doorman was super friendly, genuinely happy to help with my bags (essential after lugging my suitcase through those cobblestone streets!). Check-in/out [express] was a breeze, which I appreciated after a flight that felt like an eternity.

Accessibility: A Mixed Bag, But Kudos Where It's Due

Wheelchair accessible is a big win here, big time. The ramps were well-placed, the elevators were spacious (essential when you're hauling luggage and maybe a slightly over-packed souvenir bag!), and the staff clearly understood the needs of guests with mobility issues. Facilities for disabled guests are definitely on point, thankfully. Now, getting around Seville itself? That’s a whole other story (those cobblestones again!), but that’s not ABBA’s fault.

Where they really shined was the Accessibility of the online experience: super easy to find what I was looking for. Bravo!

Rooms: Glorious Isolation (Mostly)

Okay, the rooms… Available in all rooms: Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens. Whew! That's a lot of stuff. The Air conditioning was a lifesaver in the Seville heat. Speaking of which, the Blackout curtains were a godsend. I'm talking sleeping-until-noon-and-not-feeling-guilty-about-it kind of sleep. The Free Wi-Fi (essential!) was strong everywhere, though I’d recommend upgrading the Internet Access – LAN for gaming purposes.

The Flaws

The soundproofing wasn't perfect. I could sometimes hear… well, let’s just say there were some passionate conversations in the hallway. And the Interconnecting rooms… well, it might be fun if you’re with friends, I was without. But on the whole they were quite private.

Dining, Drinking & Snacking: A Feast for the Senses (and the Wallet)

This is where things get… interesting. The Restaurants are plentiful, and they cover a huge range.

• Breakfast [buffet]: A good spread, but nothing that blew my socks off (though I'm not sure what kind of socks would be blown off by breakfast!).
• A la carte in restaurant: Yes, and it's an experience. Especially in the evening.
• Poolside bar: Must-do! The cocktails were strong, the sun was hot, and the view of the Swimming pool [outdoor] was just pure bliss. Happy hour made everything even better!
• Coffee shop: Great for a quick caffeine fix (essential for surviving Seville’s energy!).
• Snack bar: Perfect for something to eat between meals.
• Room service [24-hour]: Ideal for those late-night cravings (or the inevitable jet lag).

The Spa: My Personal Paradise Lost… and Found!

Okay, listen up. The Spa is the real deal. The Pool with view, Sauna, Steamroom, and Massage were all amazing. I’m talking hours of pure, unadulterated relaxation. I doubled down on the experience and got a Body scrub and Body wrap.

Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Finding Your Zen (and Maybe Losing It)

This is where ABBA really shines.

• Swimming pool [outdoor]: Beyond amazing! Seriously the place to be during and especially after a grueling day of sightseeing.
• Fitness center and Gym/fitness: I'll be honest, I did not step foot in the gym. Too busy lounging by the pool!
• Spa/sauna: A whole other level of relaxation.

Cleanliness and Safety: Modern Times, Modern Worries

I am a bit of a germaphobe when it comes to hotels. I was happy, overall.

• Anti-viral cleaning products were being used. Always appreciate that!
• Daily disinfection in common areas: Checking.
• Hand sanitizer everywhere. Good.
• Rooms sanitized between stays: Hopefully.
• Staff trained in safety protocol: They were clearly taking it seriously.
• Cashless payment service: Easy peasy.

For the Kids: Family Friendly? You Bet!

Family/child friendly? Absolutely.

• Babysitting service: Handy if you want a romantic night out.
• Kids meal: Made the small ones smile!
• Kids facilities like a play area (I only peeked, mind you, I don't have kids yet!)

The Not-So-Glamorous Stuff (Because Honesty)

• Smoking area: Always good to have them!
• Car park [free of charge]: Score!
• Car park [on-site]: A plus.
• On-site event hosting.
• Meeting/banquet facilities.

Getting Around: The Seville Shuffle

• Airport transfer: Yes! Saves you the hassle of finding a taxi after a long flight.
• Taxi service: Readily available.

The Verdict: Should You Book?

The rooms are lovely, the pool is amazing, and the staff is generally lovely. It's convenient and it definitely has a luxury feel.

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your average itinerary. This is…well, it’s going to be my attempt to navigate the labyrinthine beauty of Seville, Spain, and it’s going to be messy, emotional, and probably involve a lot of tapas. Hopefully, I’ll survive. Here goes…

ABBA Sevilla - Seville: Operation "Sunshine & Existential Dread" (aka, Surviving Spain)

(Pre-Trip Ramblings – AKA, The Nervous Breakdown Before the Trip)

Ugh, flights. Honestly, the mere thought of being crammed into a metal tube with recycled air and the collective anxiety of a hundred strangers is enough to make me want to just… stay home and binge-watch cat videos. But Seville! Sun-drenched plazas! Flamenco! So, here we are. Packing is a nightmare. I’m pretty sure I've packed enough underwear for a zombie apocalypse. And the phrase “comfortably stylish” seems to be a cruel joke on people like me who usually live in sweatpants.

*(Deep breath… okay, let’s try to make a plan…) *

Day 1: Arrival, Cobblestones, and the Curse of the Lost Suitcase

• Morning (9:00 AM): Arrive at Seville Airport (SVQ). Pray to the travel gods that my luggage made it. Fingers crossed. (If it hasn't, cue the internal screaming).
  • Anectode: Remember that time I went to Rome and my suitcase went to Bonn, Germany? Let's just say I spent the first three days in a borrowed t-shirt. The trauma is real.
• Morning (10:00 AM): Taxi to ABBA Sevilla Hotel. Pray it actually exists and isn’t just a figment of my Google search.
  • Observation: Okay, the taxi driver is currently careening through traffic like he's auditioning for a Fast & Furious movie. Praying for an uneventful arrival.
• Morning (11:00 AM): Check in. Settle into the hotel. (Hopefully, there’s a decent view. Actually, any view that isn’t of a brick wall will do). Important: Find the Wi-Fi password immediately. Need to maintain my social media presence. Duh.
  • Emotional Reaction: Okay, the hotel lobby is lovely. Really promising. This feels like the right choice.
• Afternoon (1:00 PM): Lunch: Tapas Time! Near the hotel (recommendation needed? Google Maps to the rescue!). The first tapas have to be epic. I NEED IT.
  • Opinionated Commentary: I’m expecting jamón ibérico that practically melts in your mouth, and maybe some salmorejo to cool down after my travel-induced meltdown. This is the most important part of the day. Don't fail me, Seville!
• Afternoon (3:00 PM): Stroll through the Barrio Santa Cruz (Jewish Quarter). Get hopelessly lost in its charming, winding streets. Embrace the disorientation. Actually, try to find some cool shops, you know, buy some momentos.
• Afternoon (5:00 PM): Explore the Alcázar of Seville. (If I can handle the crowds).
  • Quirky Observation: I'm picturing myself as a royal, casually strolling through the courtyards, pondering the meaning of life while sipping a tiny cup of tea, very dramatic. But I'll probably just be sweating and looking bewildered, let's be real.
• Evening (7:00 PM): Dinner: Another tapas adventure. Seeking recommendations. Also, desperately trying not to be "that tourist" who gets lost in every single alleyway.
  • Messier Structure: Okay, my brain is starting to get that travel-induced fuzziness. Are there any good sangria spots around here? Asking for a friend (who is, in fact, myself).
• Evening (9:00 PM): Early night. Jet lag is a beast. Plus, I need to conserve energy for the inevitable Flamenco!

Day 2: Cathedral Dreams & Flamenco Feels

• Morning (9:00 AM): Visit the Seville Cathedral and climb the Giralda tower. Hoping I don’t have a panic attack during the climb. I've heard the view is epic, so definitely worth the effort.
  • Emotional Reaction: This cathedral is absolutely breathtaking. Seriously, jaw-dropping! And the view from the Giralda? Worth the near-cardiac arrest.
• Morning (11:00 AM): Lost in the Cathedral.
  • Anecdote: I got completely lost wandering around the cathedral. Found myself staring at some statues, completely lost in thought. What a truly humbling experience.
• Lunch (1:00 PM): Quick lunch, because I need sustenance for the big event.
• Afternoon (3:00 PM): Explore the Plaza de España. Take (many) photos. Try to resist the urge to reenact scenes from Star Wars because you know they were actually filmed here.
• Afternoon (5:00 PM): Free time for shopping or more wandering. Maybe find a park and people watch.
• Evening (7:00 PM): Flamenco show! The main event of the night. Please let it be good!
  • Doubling Down on Experience: Okay, the Flamenco show. I’ve spent weeks researching the perfect show. I need passion. I need drama. I need tears (of joy, hopefully). I'm going to look for a small, authentic place, not a tourist trap. I need to feel it in my soul!
• Evening (9:00 PM): Post-Flamenco tapas and drinks (if I haven't cried all my emotions out at the show).

Day 3: Gardens, Markets & the Struggle is Real

• Morning (9:00 AM): Visit the Jardines de Murillo. Stroll through the beautiful gardens, and hopefully, find some peace and quiet.
• Morning (11:00 AM): Explore the Mercado de Triana. Eat all the things. Buy some souvenirs. Practice my terrible Spanish.
• Lunch (1:00 PM): Triana Lunch.
• Afternoon (2:00 PM): Shopping. More shopping. Maybe I'll finally find a decent summer dress.
• Afternoon (4:00 PM): Relax. Rest the feet. Avoid the crowds.
• Evening (7:00 PM): Dinner: Trying an restaurant recommended by someone with better taste than me.
• Evening (9:00 PM): Last night drinks.

(Final Thoughts - AKA, The Existential Aftermath)

This is going to be an adventure. I'm going to get lost. I'm going to sweat. I may or may not have a full-blown emotional breakdown. But, if all goes well, I’ll also experience some of the most beautiful, vibrant, and delicious things Spain has to offer. And that, my friends, is what it's all about, right? Wish me luck. I'll need it and plenty of sunscreen.

abba Sevilla Seville SpainOkay, buckle up, buttercups! Because we're diving *headfirst* into the swirling, sequined, and surprisingly sweaty world of ABBA in Seville. This is NOT the polished, PR-approved version. This is the *real* story, with all the bumps, bruises, and questionable tapas choices. Prepare to have your mind, and your dancing shoes, utterly blown.

Wait...ABBA in Seville? I thought they were Swedish! What's the *actual* deal?

Okay, okay, simmer down. Yes, ABBA is Swedish, obviously. But Seville... Seville is where the *magic* almost happened, the near-miss, the what-ifs. Picture this: 1979. The band is on top of the world, conquering the musical universe. And someone (probably someone with a LOT of money and a questionable sense of timing) thought Seville would be the PERFECT location for their promotional film, *ABBA: The Movie*…Part 2! It became a legendary missed opportunity. And while they didn't actually film in Seville, the city was on their radar! It's a story of what COULD have been, and that's a whole different level of intriguing. It's like, imagine ABBA crooning "Dancing Queen" in the Plaza de España... *Sigh.*

So, no ACTUAL ABBA in Seville footage? My dreams are shattered!

Look, I get it. The disappointment is REAL. But hear me out. Think about it. If they *had* filmed there, would we be having this fascinating conversation today? Probably not. We'd be swamped in cheesy souvenirs and photos of them in ridiculous bullfighter outfits. Instead, we have the *potential*! The romanticism of what *could* have been! Plus, the absence makes the heart grow fonder, right? And you know what IS there? The *spirit* of ABBA in Seville. The vibrant culture, the passionate people... it feels like they're a part of the city, even if they weren't physically present. It's weird, I know.

Okay, so if they weren't there, what's the "untold story" then? You promised!

Alright, hold your horses! The "untold story" isn't a specific film shoot gone awry (though I'd LOOOVE that). It's the *impact*! It's the lingering *what-ifs*! It's how Seville *reacted* to the idea of ABBA. It’s the whispers among locals, the dreams of an ABBA-themed tapas bar (yes, really!), the unshakeable feeling that had things aligned, the city's music and culture would have forever changed. It's the stories *around* the non-event. And let me tell you, those stories are juicy! They’re full of missed opportunities, creative sparks, and a whole heap of Spanish passion.

Did anyone actually *try* to capitalize on the ABBA-Seville dream?

YES! And this is where it gets interesting. I heard whispers of a local flamenco troupe attempting a "Dancing Queen" remix, complete with ruffled skirts and castanets. I can't confirm specifics, but the mere *thought* fills me with a mixture of terror and glee. And some enterprising tapas bars, I kid you not, *offered* "ABBA-themed tapas"! Imagine: "Waterloo" Watercress salad, "Mamma Mia" Meatballs... Bless their hearts. These were the real heroes, trying to keep the dream alive. Were these successful? Probably not. But the effort? Priceless.

What about the music? Did ABBA's music *actually* influence Seville?

Absolutely, in a roundabout way! Think about it. ABBA's music is all about joy, freedom, and dancing your heart out. Seville is a city that *embodies* those things. The rhythm of the city, the heat, the passion – ABBA's music would have integrated seamlessly. And it *did* infiltrate the tourist scene -- ABBA covers and "inspired by" shows became part of the nightlife. The music is a global language, and Seville? She speaks it fluently, even if it's with a slight Spanish accent. It's subtle, but it's there. And sometimes, I swear, I hear a touch of "Fernando" in a particularly dramatic flamenco performance. Don't judge me. Let me dream!

So, you're obsessed with this, aren't you?

Okay, yes. Guilty as charged. Look, I'm not gonna lie. This whole ABBA-Seville thing has consumed me. I've spent countless hours researching this, poring over old travel brochures, and even attempting to choreograph a flamenco-infused "Take a Chance on Me" in my living room (my neighbors *loved* that). It's the *potential*, the sheer audacity of it all. And the feeling that, somehow, the spirit of Frida, Agnetha, Benny, and Bjorn IS still there, shimmering in the Andalusian sun. It's… well, it's just a *perfect* match. And it's just a shame it never, truly, happened. But that's what makes it interesting right? The stuff of legends!

What's the craziest thing you’ve discovered about the ABBA-Seville connection?

Alright, buckle up. The *craziest* thing? This is a story I heard from a *very* reliable local source (whose identity I will protect, because, frankly, it's a bit bonkers). Apparently, a local bullfighter, *ahem*, known for his flair (both in the ring and out) was *rumored* to have been considered for the role of the "Fernando" character if ABBA ever shot in Seville (insert gasp here). The source was a bit vague on the details, but they kept whispering about a "tragic love story, a rose, and a whole lot of dramatic flair". *Can you even imagine that*?!? It was NEVER confirmed, mind you, but *that*…that's the stuff of myth. That right there is the embodiment, the *essence* of the Seville-ABBA dream. It's wild, it's probably not true, but it's PERFECT. Let me tell you, that anecdote alone keeps me up at night.

Okay, so, bottom line: Should I visit Seville "because" of the ABBA connection?

ABSOLUTELY! But not necessarily *because* of ABBA. Go for the vibrant culture, the incredible food, the stunning architecture, the dancing in the streets, and, yes, for the *ghostly* echo of a potential collaboration. Go to feel the music, even if it's not ABBA directly. Go to dream. Go to experience the magic that Seville radiates, and be open to the possibility that, in some alternate universe, Frida, Agnetha, Benny, and Bjorn are right there with you, sipping sangria and belting out "Mamma Mia" under theHotelish
