Vincci Hotels invites you on a tour of its most unique courtyards

A summer once again, the hotel chain invites guests to discover some of its most special courtyards in Seville, Málaga, Madrid and Granada. Filled with light, greenery and local character, these spaces offer a different way to experience summer without leaving the heart of the city. The experience is complemented by carefully crafted menus designed to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace, celebrating seasonal flavours, local produce and recipes with a distinctive personality.

With the arrival of summer and longer days, there is nothing quite like having places where you can take a break, escape the heat and enjoy time in good company. In this context, Vincci Hoteles presents some of its most distinctive courtyards, spaces that form part of the identity of its hotels and perfectly reflect its way of understanding hospitality and interpreting each destination. Some of these courtyards revive the tradition of Sevillian manor houses; others are inspired by Arab and Andalusian heritage, while some serve as hidden gardens in the heart of the city. All of them share the same purpose: to offer guests and visitors a peaceful, stylish and flavourful setting where summer can be enjoyed from within the hotel itself.
