There are some really good option in Hotels around Seville:
Restaurante Maria Luisa en el Hotel Mercer *****GL (This one is becoming a must, it can be expensive but food is magnificent and the experience is very sspecial since the restaurante is located in old Renaissance-Baroque Aristocrat Palace Castellar: It’s been recently open, so is one of the latest additions to the list of culinary MUST)
Restaurante Los rincones del Marques ,located at the Palace Hotel of Villapanes. Exclusive, food is amazing and the place is quite special.
Lob by EME (you can´t beat its location, you could dine facing the Cathedral at the terraza del hotel, really something)
Hotel Alfonso XIII– a classic since the 1920´s. Arguably the most elegant hotel and restaurant in Seville that keeps that Belle Epoque atmosphere of romantic travelers that discover Andalusian in the 19th Century.

Other options not to miss
When in Granada one of the «must do» is to go for «tapas and raciones» around the área of Plaza Nueva. There are many places where the quality of the food in tapas is outsanding, and they will come served together with your «caña» (beer) «vermut» (sweet wine) or any other drink you order.
One of the places you shouldn´t miss is Los Manueles, in the surrounding área there are at least a dozen of tabernas and bars that serve tapas, pay attention to the locals, it is quite easy to find out which are the preferred ones by the amount of people and movement, and follow the suggestions of bar tenders, they tend to offer what’s best of the day.
