Staying in El Arenal: mapped hotels, metro walk and night venues
The short answer
El Arenal suits a walkable first base: 30 mapped hotels sit within 500 m and Puerta de Jerez metro is 572 m away, about 10 minutes on foot. Skip it if you want few venues nearby, as 28 bars and pubs are mapped within 250 m, a high night-noise risk. The catch is that this counts venues, not sound, and the ring samples range from 13 to 34.

Who it suits, who should skip it
Good for
- Visitors who want many mapped hotels within a 1 to 8 minute walk of one anchor point
- Travellers who plan short walks to Plaza de toros de Sevilla, 211 m away
- People happy to be near bars and pubs and to check which way a room faces
- Those who prefer a base where the sampled elevation spread is only 20 m
Skip it if
- You want few mapped venues nearby: 28 bars and pubs sit within 250 m of the anchor
- You need the metro at the door: Puerta de Jerez is 572 m away, about 10 minutes
- You need confirmed step-free routes, which this elevation sampling cannot show
Where to stay: hotels mapped around the anchor
The mapped hotels cluster tightly around the El Arenal anchor point. Hotel Adriano is 17 m away, a 1-minute walk, and Hotel Vincci La Rábida is 102 m away, a 2-minute walk. OpenStreetMap lists 30 hotels within 500 m, so the choice is wide and the gaps between them are small. Names and addresses are as tagged and have not been verified.
Distance to the anchor is a weak way to choose, because the compass ring samples differ more than the hotels do. Hotel Maestranza is 123 m away, a 2-minute walk, while Hotel Kivir is 343 m away, a 6-minute walk, toward the west, where the west ring sample maps 26 venues within 250 m. Compare the ring samples in the noise section before settling on a side.
Getting around: metro and sights on foot
The nearest mapped metro station is Puerta de Jerez, 572 m from the anchor, an estimated 10-minute walk. Walks here are estimates from the anchor, using a 1.3 detour factor on the straight line at 80 m a minute, so they are not routed journeys from any hotel. The sampled elevation of the station differs from the anchor by 2 m.
Mapped points of interest are close. Hermandad El Baratillo is 67 m away, a 2-minute walk, and Plaza de toros de Sevilla is 211 m away, a 4-minute walk. Arco del Postigo is 218 m and Plaza del Cabildo is 223 m, both about 4 minutes. The source supports location only, so check opening hours and transport services separately.
Noise at night: what the venue count shows
Within 250 m of the anchor, OpenStreetMap lists 23 bars, 5 pubs and no nightclubs, 28 venues in all, which is a high night-noise risk on our scale. The count is a mapped-venue proxy. It does not measure sound, and it cannot see traffic, terraces or venues missing from the map.
The eight compass ring samples spread from 13 venues at the south sample to 34 at the north-east sample. The others map 15 to the south-east, 22 to the south-west, 23 to the north and north-west, 26 to the west and 27 to the east. These are measurement points, not named streets, so use them only to compare directions, and ask a hotel which way a room faces.
Hills and walking: a sampled elevation range
Sampled elevations run from 1 m to 21 m above sea level, a 20 m spread, with the anchor at 15 m. The south-west ring sample is lowest at 1 m and the north-east sample highest at 21 m. This is a sampled range, not a route climb, and it says nothing about step-free access or the surface of any street.
Puerta de Jerez sits at 13 m, so the sampled difference between the anchor and the station is 2 m. The south ring sample at 5 m and the south-west sample at 1 m sit lower than the 15 m anchor in the data. The data does not show the gradient of any particular route, so treat these figures as context only.

- Night-noise risk counts places tagged as bars, pubs and nightclubs in OpenStreetMap within 250 m: low under 8, medium from 8 or with any nightclub, high from 25 or with 3 nightclubs. It counts mapped venues; it does not measure sound.
- Walking times take the straight-line distance, add 30% for the street network and assume 80 m a minute, rounded up. They are estimates, not routes.
- Climb is the spread between the highest and the lowest sampled point in Copernicus DEM GLO-90 via the Open-Meteo Elevation API. Terrain models average the ground into cells, so a few metres either way are within their error.
- Searched on 14 Oct 2026: the metro within 1.2 km, hotels within 500 m. A place missing from OpenStreetMap is missing here too.
