The Alfonso XIII, Sevilla

This Andalusian institution was opened for the Sevilla Expo of 1929 and nothing much has changed. The noble arches and columns are still here, and the corridors gleaming with iridescent tiles in Moorish tones, the fluted ceiling mouldings and gold-trimmed lifts. And guests still sip fino in the patio, as they always did. The hotel was a favourite with the current king’s mother, Doña Maria de las Mercedes de Borbón y Orleáns, as well as Sevilla’s most glamorous and celebrated visi tors including Princess Grace of Monaco, Rita Hayworth (whose father was Sevillano), Orson Welles, Audrey Hepburn (above), Sofia Loren, Jackie Kennedy and Princess Dia na, right. Some scenes from the 1962 epic Lawrence of Arabia were filmed here.

This stunning spa hotel is 900 years old.

The former abbey in the wine-producing area of Ribera del Duero in Valladolid is one of the most luxurious hotels in the country. One of the former stables is now the Santuario Wellness & Spa, where a dedicated spa sommelier offers guests a glass of wine before advising on suitable vinotherapy treatments, then run ning a wine bath in your room, so you can gaze across vineyards to the mountains beyond. The abbey is a celebrated Romanes que building founded in 1146 by the Premonstratensian Order - a Roman Catholic monastic sect founded in 1120 by St Norbert (1080-1134), a German bishop. Much of the original structure has been respected - the monks’ former cells are now smart rooms and the abbey’s grand refectory is now an acclaimed res taurant where chef Marc Segarra Saune uses the estate’s pro duce to inspire his menus.

Parador de Santiago de Compostela, Galicia

This Galician luxury hotel is one of the oldest continually running lodgings in the world. The parador was founded by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella at the end of the 15th century as a refuge for pilgrims. It was designed to allow them to rest their feet after walking across Spain to pay homage to St James, who is buried in the cathedral on Obradoiro square. The most impressive guestrooms overlook the square and feature four-poster beds and antique Castilian furniture. The massive granite building in gothic, Renaissance and baroque styles is set around four cloisters.
