A historic hotel created for Expo ’92

November 27, 2025

Wake up, draw the curtains, and take in all of Seville at your feet: that’s how the experience begins at ILUNION Alcora Sevilla, a historic hotel born with Expo ’92 and fully renovated in 2021. Located in San Juan de Aznalfarache, just ten minutes from the city center, this hotel blends the history of modern Seville with the social commitment that defines ILUNION Hotels.

Opened on the eve of the Universal Exposition of 1992, ILUNION Alcora Sevilla was designed as a landmark space to welcome visitors and host conferences during Seville’s great moment of international openness. Its architecture, featuring a vast central atrium and a glass-domed roof, remains one of the most recognizable in the Aljarafe area and preserves that sense of spaciousness and elegance that sets it apart.

If you’re thinking of discovering the city from a new perspective, you’ll love our “Seville in 3 Days” itinerary: the perfect plan to see it all—and there’s no better way to do it than with Alcora as your starting point.

Unique views and spaces designed for major events

Its 3,000 m² landscaped terrace, with an outdoor pool and views of Seville’s skyline, is the perfect place to relax, soak up the sun, or host events with the Guadalquivir River as a backdrop. The sound of the water and the city views create a feeling of complete disconnection—without ever leaving Seville.

With 401 rooms and a Convention Center of over 1,000 m², ILUNION Alcora Sevilla is one of the most versatile event hotels in Andalusia. It offers 21 modular rooms with natural light, equipped with audiovisual technology and capacity for up to 1,000 people in theater or cocktail format. Its accessibility and strategic location—18 km from the airport and next to Club Zaudín Golf—make it an ideal venue for congresses, conventions, or corporate presentations.

As part of the ONCE Social Group, ILUNION Hotels promotes a pioneering model of accessibility, diversity, and inclusion; within this framework, ILUNION Alcora Sevilla offers adapted rooms, braille signage, and barrier-free bathrooms, fully aligned with the company’s standards.

Accessibility, commitment, and a story that continues to inspire

The hotel features an à la carte restaurant and café, gym, on-site parking, and landscaped areas, as well as a shuttle service to the metro station connecting with Seville. Its gastronomy combines local products with balanced menus, and its team fosters a warm, authentic service, in line with ILUNION Hotels’ philosophy of “Hotels with Everyone Included.”

Located on the San Juan to Tomares road, km 1, ILUNION Alcora Sevilla serves as a true vantage point over the city. From here, you can admire landmarks such as the Giralda, the Torre del Oro, and the Plaza de España. Just 10 minutes from Santa Justa station and 20 from the airport, it is an excellent choice both for leisure travelers and professionals seeking an accessible, well-connected hotel in Seville.

Since its opening linked to Expo ’92, ILUNION Alcora Sevilla has managed to reinvent itself without losing its essence. It served as a medicalized hotel during the 2020 pandemic and reopened in 2021 after a comprehensive renovation that modernized rooms, common areas, and MICE spaces. Today, it remains a symbol of how history, accessibility, and sustainability can coexist in a single destination.
