Designed by AF6 Arquitectos, The Montalván Pottery Factory finished its production as a ceramic?s factory in 2012. After its closure and new acquisition, it has been transformed for a new use: Hotel and Restaurant. The building has been built where the ancient Montalván pottery factory in Seville was settled, in the neighborhood of Triana.

This factory was one of the three pottery sets that remained in Triana (Seville). The project began with detailed research of the property. As a result of it, all the pottery that was left on the old Montalván Factory? shelves (today restaurant and hotel) has been recycled to create a unique contemporary architecture where you can enjoy the industrial and colorful past of the Triana ceramics from a contemporary point of view.
