Concierge.com's insider take:
This splendid neo-Moorish palace was commissioned by the king, for whom it is named, in order to house patrons of the 1929 Ibero-American Exhibition. The architectural splendor of this grand old institution rivals that of Seville's finest museums and palaces. The hotel is built around a central patio surrounded by ornate brick arches. The interiors feature marble floors, hand-painted tiles, and antique mahogany furniture. There are 147 rooms and suites (including a royal one). The Alfonso XIII has two restaurants; the Kaede serves Japanese food, but for more typical (and hearty) Andalusian fare, opt for the San Fernando. The service is exquisite—even if all you've requested is an aspirin, they'll bring it on a silver platter.
