The building is a protected heritage site, reflecting early 20th-century Belle Epoque style. It is a 5-minute walk from the Old Town, Kursaal Congress Palace, and Concha Beach.

Modern Comforts

The 44 rooms include Cosy, Boutique, Deluxe Corner (some with terraces), and Junior Suites. Each has premium bedding, soundproof walls, a Nespresso machine, minibar, flat-screen TV with first-run movies, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a laptop-compatible safe.

Breakfast & Bar

A continental or buffet breakfast is served daily. The lobby offers a coffee shop and complimentary tea service. A free manager's reception takes place evenings.

Roof Terrace Access

Guests can use the rooftop terrace with views of the city and garden. The hotel provides a lounge, bar, and gym.

Central Location

The hotel is 900 meters from Concha Beach and Zurriola Beach. Nearby landmarks include Buen Pastor Cathedral (500m), San Telmo Museum (1km), and Peine del Viento sculpture (2.5km). San Sebastián Airport is 25km away.

“This boutique hotel, housed in a Baroque-style palace, provides a unique experience a short walk from the Old Town. The rooftop terrace, complete with a bar, stands out with its city views and outdoor seating. I particularly appreciate the hotel's eco-friendly initiatives and dedication to sustainability.”
