Wall Lights at Hotel Alfonso XIII, Seville
Luxury and tradition in a historic hotel in Seville
A Project of Excellence
In 1976, Hijos de Estévez had the honor of participating in one of the most emblematic projects in its history: the manufacture and installation of wall lights and luminaries for the Hotel Alfonso XIII in Seville, one of the most luxurious and representative hotels in Spain.
This prestigious hotel, built for the 1929 Ibero-American Exhibition and named in honor of King Alfonso XIII, required lighting that combined elegance, tradition, and the highest artisanal quality.
Royal Quality
The Hotel Alfonso XIII has hosted kings, heads of state, and personalities from around the world, demanding an exceptional level of quality in all its decorative elements.
Exclusive Design
Each wall light was specifically designed for this project, adapting to the hotel's historicist architecture that combines Neo-Mudéjar, Neo-Gothic, and Neo-Baroque styles.
Excellence in Details
Each wall light was carefully designed and manufactured following the highest quality standards. Our artisans dedicated hundreds of hours to crafting these unique pieces, ensuring that every ornamental detail reflected the grandeur of the hotel.
The solid brass finishes and hand-cut crystals create light effects that enhance the majesty of the spaces, from the main lobby to the most intimate lounges.
Project Features
The project for the Hotel Alfonso XIII involved the manufacture of more than 150 wall lights and luminaries distributed throughout the different areas of the hotel:
Main Lobby
Large wall lights made of solid brass with ornamental details inspired by Andalusian architecture.
Event Halls
Ceiling lamps with hand-cut crystals that create unique light plays in spaces intended for royal receptions.
Corridors and Common Areas
Smaller but equally elaborate wall lights that maintain aesthetic coherence throughout the establishment.
Restaurants and Bar
Specific lighting for each environment, from the intimacy of the gourmet dining room to the vitality of the bar.
