Just after last week's announcement of Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah, Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts has announced it will open in Spain this summer. The Waldorf Astoria Sevilla at La Boticaria will be the brand's fifth property to open in Europe. This property was previously the Hacienda La Boticaria. The Waldorf Astoria Sevilla at La Boticaria will have 133 guest rooms and suites and one of Europe's largest hotel spa facilities. The property is on 40 acres of land that includes an on-site equestrian center with 16 thoroughbred Spanish horses and a driving range for golf enthusiasts close to the Real Club de Golf de Sevilla.

The hotel is located in Alcala de Guadaira, around 20 minutes from both Sevilla city centre and San Pablo airport, plus only a couple of hours drive from the gorgeous Costa del Sol. The hacienda contains six different private courtyard gardens of Andalucian, Egyptian and Arabian style where guests can relax in peaceful tranquility.

The spa has a variety of treatment and relaxation rooms and several indoor and outdoor pools offering secluded comfort under the warm Spanish sun. The culinary experiences haven't been announced yet but given the grand tradition of Spanish gastronomy, we've got high hopes.
