1929 Hotel Seville: A LIVING LANDMARK IN THE HEART OF HARRISON
Step through the grand doors of the 1929 Hotel Seville, and you’ re instantly transported to another time— a time of elegance, craftsmanship, and genuine hospitality. Nestled in the heart of downtown Harrison, this nearly 100-yearold boutique hotel has been beautifully preserved and thoughtfully renewed, offering guests an experience that blends the best of the past and present.
For the past three years, the Seville has once again become a centerpiece of Harrison’ s hospitality scene under the ownership and leadership of Hansen Doolittle, a local entrepreneur with deep roots in the Ozarks.“ My family has ties here that date back before Harrison was founded,” Doolittle shared.“ Owning and operating the Seville is a way of honoring that history while ensuring this landmark continues to serve future generations.”
A TRIBUTE TO TIMELESS ELEGANCE Built in 1929, the Seville’ s Spanishinspired architecture and intricate details make it one of the most distinctive buildings in the region. Whether visiting for a weekend stay, an evening of fine dining, or a special event, guests are enveloped in a sense of nostalgia.“ Just walking in the door transports guests to a deeper and richer experience,” Doolittle said.“ It’ s more than lodging or dining— it’ s stepping into a story that continues to unfold.” Despite its historic charm, the Seville is anything but
