Seville's New and Old Fused Together by The EME Fusion Hotel

Where: C/ Alemanes 27, Seville, Spain, 41004

Seville is known for Old World charm—narrow, cobblestone streets, Moorish architecture and tapas bars older than America but apparently, that’s about to change.

As Christopher Columbus’ final resting place, it’s clear Seville has some history. Not far from that resting place is the new EME Fusion. The New York Times checked into the hotel this past weekend and dubbed it “the center of the Sevillian scene at the moment.”

That’s thanks to the rooftop pool and terrace, chic design, four restaurants, tranquil spa and “drop-dead” views of La Giralda, the cathedral that is Seville’s main attraction. The way the Times tells it, it sounds like EME Fusion brings together the new and the old in its 70 modernly luxurious rooms built from the bones of fourteen 18th- and 19th-centry houses.

Frankly, we were surprised to find that the Times is so in love with a place that has the potential to muck up such sacred, historical space, and we’ve got to say, we’re intrigued. The place sounds classy and chic, and ready to create a host of new reasons for visiting Seville. (Perhaps there something more here to the name Fusion?)

Been there? You know you want to tell us about it, so comment away.
