Vincci Selección Unuk 5* GL renews its Michelin Key

The five-star grand luxury establishment of Vincci Hoteles in Seville has once again earned the highest hotel distinction awarded by the MICHELIN Guide — the equivalent of its famous restaurant Stars, but in the hospitality sector. This prestigious recognition honors establishments with unique architectural character, outstanding service, and a deep connection to their surroundings. Vincci Selección Unuk 5* GL stands out for its contemporary design with Andalusian soul, its warm hospitality, and its signature gastronomic concept at Recoveco. An intimate urban luxury experience in the heart of Seville.

The five-star grand luxury hotel Vincci Selección Unuk 5* GL, located in the center of Seville, has renewed its distinction with a MICHELIN Key, the accolade through which the prestigious MICHELIN Guide recognizes the most exceptional hotels for their character, architectural excellence, quality of service, and sense of place — the equivalent of the MICHELIN Stars, but for the hotel industry.



The award ceremony took place on Wednesday, October 8, at the Pavillon de Marsan, facing the Louvre Museum in Paris, where the MICHELIN Guide gathered over 300 international hoteliers to celebrate the second edition of these awards — now established as a new global benchmark in hospitality.

“This recognition reaffirms Vincci Hoteles’ commitment to our guests. Our goal is not only to offer luxury accommodation, but to create unique experiences that connect with the essence of each destination,” said Rafael Calero, General Manager for Southern Spain at Vincci Hoteles. “Vincci Selección Unuk perfectly embodies that philosophy: a hotel with a Sevillian soul, contemporary and welcoming, with a culinary concept that enhances the traveler’s experience.”



“This renewal of the MICHELIN Key is a tribute to the entire team’s work — to the passion with which we take care of every detail every day, offering a unique and personalized experience in the heart of Seville,” emphasized Manuel Escote García, Director of Vincci Selección Unuk 5* GL, who highlighted the value of this distinction as a reflection of the hotel’s commitment to excellence and authenticity.

This recognition is part of the official MICHELIN Keys 2025 selection, which honors the world’s most exceptional hotels for their outstanding hospitality. In this second edition, Spain has been recognized with a total of 109 distinguished hotels: 5 with three MICHELIN Keys, 13 with two, and 91 with one — among them, Vincci Selección Unuk 5* GL.

MICHELIN Keys highlight establishments that deliver truly exceptional hospitality experiences, following a rigorous evaluation by the guide’s team of inspectors, who assess criteria such as the hotel’s personality, design, quality of service, and integration with its surroundings.



With this renewed distinction, Vincci Selección Unuk 5* GL reaffirms itself as one of Andalusia’s most outstanding hotels and a symbol of contemporary luxury, genuine hospitality, and local authenticity — the defining traits of Vincci Hoteles. It also strengthens Seville’s position on the international map of high-end tourism.

A contemporary icon in the heart of Seville

Located in the historical, cultural, and commercial center of Seville, Vincci Selección Unuk 5* GL enjoys a privileged position in the city’s Soho district — an area that blends tradition, art, and modernity. Just a few steps from Plaza de la Encarnación and the Cathedral, the hotel stands as an urban retreat that represents the new Sevillian hospitality: close, elegant, and locally inspired.

Its architecture unites two buildings — one a traditional Sevillian house, the other modern in style — reinterpreted with noble materials such as stone and wood, and with nods to Andalusian courtyards. This combination creates a bright, contemporary space where design meets the soul of Seville. With only 34 rooms, the hotel provides highly personalized service and meticulous attention to detail, hallmarks of the Vincci Hoteles philosophy.

Among its facilities are a rooftop pool with panoramic views of the Giralda, a solarium terrace, a wellness room with massage and beauty treatments, chromotherapy shower, sauna, and a fully equipped fitness area. Together, they create an authentic haven of wellbeing and sophistication in the heart of the city.

Recoveco: Andalusian flavor reimagined

The gastronomic concept of Vincci Selección Unuk 5* GL takes shape in Recoveco, a restaurant that pays tribute to traditional Andalusian cuisine from a contemporary perspective. Located at street level with direct access from outside, it offers different ambiences that invite guests to enjoy an elegant, refined, and deeply local dining experience. During the summer season, its stunning rooftop terrace becomes a true urban oasis, combining open-air and glass-enclosed areas where guests can enjoy the menu under Seville’s sky.



Its menu blends the essence of classic Andalusian flavors with contemporary techniques and a careful selection of local ingredients. Signature dishes include Los Palacios tomato with Barbate tuna loin, roasted Conil corvina, and prawn salad, along with creative reinterpretations such as mini bao buns with baby squid or prawn and cuttlefish croquettes with mint mayonnaise. Recoveco is particularly renowned for its mastery of tuna — from yuzu-dressed tartare and toro belly sashimi to seasonal Almadraba red tuna. For enthusiasts, it offers an eight-course tasting menu entirely dedicated to this ingredient, paired with a fine dessert selection.

To complete the experience, the restaurant features an exclusive wine list and a tempting array of house-made desserts, such as the traditional “grandmother’s cake,” brioche French toast, and tocino de cielo with yogurt ice cream. A culinary concept that blends authenticity, precision, and attention to detail — establishing Recoveco as one of Seville’s gastronomic landmarks.
