Ocean Drive Sevilla: the most stylish urban escape of the Andalusian summer

Forbes: June 28, 2025

Seville is always a stage of light, history, and Mediterranean vitality. In the midst of this unique atmosphere, Ocean Drive Sevilla emerges as the perfect destination for those seeking an urban getaway that blends style, comfort, and local soul.

More than just a hotel, it’s an invitation to experience the city from within, with a boutique concept that captivates through its design, hospitality, and prime location.

Located in the heart of the La Encarnación neighborhood, just steps from the emblematic Plaza de las Setas, Ocean Drive Sevilla occupies the renovated building of the former Hotel Ducal, now transformed into a contemporary retreat thanks to the work of Daar Arquitectos, architect Lia Sainz, and the OD Hotels interior design team.

The result is a careful fusion of traditional Andalusian architecture, Mudejar style, and sophisticated Mediterranean aesthetics that invites relaxation and inspiration.

With 49 rooms across the Superior, Deluxe, and Suite categories, the hotel features noble materials such as wood, ceramic, and natural stone, creating fresh, serene spaces where greenery and interior courtyards reinforce the connection to Seville’s essence.

The open lobby, with cobblestone floors and large windows, flows into a restaurant that celebrates local produce with a light, coastal menu—perfect for savoring summer with calm and elegance.

Ocean Drive Sevilla goes beyond hospitality: it is also a living cultural space, hosting concerts, talks, and workshops that invite interaction with the local community. This artistic and cosmopolitan spirit is part of the DNA of OD Hotels, a group that redefines hospitality by turning each of its spaces into creative and social hubs.

Its privileged location allows guests to explore Seville’s major icons on foot—from the Alcázar to the Cathedral—while discovering hidden corners, soulful boutiques, and vibrant terraces, offering an authentic and immersive experience for the contemporary traveler who values design, culture, and comfort.

At the heart of this vision is the signature of OD Hotels, a brand that is part of OD Group, a tourism holding founded in 2000 with a solid track record in creating unique spaces.

Since entering the hotel business in 2006 with Ocean Drive Ibiza and Agroturismo OD Can Jaume, the brand has expanded its Mediterranean vision with openings in iconic locations like Barcelona and Madrid, always with a commitment to signature architecture, sophisticated design, and respectful integration with the surroundings.

Each property is conceived as a place to live, create, and connect. The distinctive hallmark of OD Hotels lies in giving new life to its hotels through sophisticated design and spectacular architecture, using noble materials and custom furniture to create unique experiences for its guests.
