In the heart of Seville , where every corner breathes history and every alley whispers tales of centuries past, lies a refuge full of soul and elegance: Casa del Gobernador by Época Suites . Just steps from the Cathedral and the Reales Alcázares, this stately home is not just a place to stay, but a gateway to a space steeped in the essence of Seville and Andalusia, offering a true immersion in our culture.
Its history begins in 1928, a year before the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition, a key event that boosted the city's urban and economic development. Inaugurated by King Alfonso XIII, the exhibition sought to strengthen ties between Spain and its former colonies, leaving an unforgettable architectural legacy with the creation of landmarks such as the Plaza de España and María Luisa Park.
It was in this context of splendour that Don Carlos Delgado Brackenbury , deputy mayor and governor of the city, commissioned the renovation of this house to the renowned Sevillian architect Juan Talavera y Heredia , a key figure in the urban transformation of the early 20th century. Talavera, trained at the Madrid School of Architecture, combined Andalusian regionalism with historicist and modernist influences in his works, leaving his mark on projects such as the Plaza de América, the Murillo Gardens and the Paseo de Catalina de Ribera.
With his talent for fusing Neo-Mudejar with Neo-Baroque regionalism, Talavera shaped the Governor's House , where the elegance of the ornate brickwork evokes the splendor of a Seville that never ceases to captivate.
Today, after a meticulous restoration process, the Governor's House has recovered its original essence. Every corner has been designed to offer its guests a unique sensorial experience: the warmth of spaces bathed in natural light, the serenity of an architecture that envelops and welcomes, and the charm of a decor that pays homage to the Seville of yesteryear without sacrificing modern comfort.
Currently, the Governor's House is managed by Época Suites , a prestigious chain of luxury tourist apartments specializing in exclusive stays with the highest level of comfort and service. Through this website, you can book your stay and enjoy a unique experience in one of Seville's most beautiful architectural gems.
