FAQs about hotels in Santander

Rolling Hills, Magnificent Gardens and Sandy Beaches

On the north coast of Spain, the seaside city of Santander is the capital of Cantabria. This beautiful city has it all: from stunning beaches and green gardens to captivating museums and a bustling central area.

Overlooking the lighthouse of the Mauro Island, the popular sandy beach of Sardinero is divided by the gardens of Piquio. These magnificent gardens feature Canarian palm trees, blue eucalyptus and colorful flower beds.

Located on the Magdalena Peninsula, the imposing Palacio de la Magdalena has a neoclassic French and English style. Wander around the green gardens and visit the small zoo, home to penguins, seals and other sea animals.

The Cathedral of Santander is a historic landmark in the center of the city. Built between the 12th and 14th centuries, this historic monument consists of two Gothic churches. The Alameda de Oviedo Boulevard is a shopping paradise where you can find everything you need.

Enjoy a walk on the wide seaside promenade, where you'll find a big selection of cafés and restaurants to choose from. Booking.com offers a variety of hotels, guesthouses and apartments in the area. The international Santander Airport is the only one in Cantabria.

    Great for a city break or a longer trip where you could include San Sebastián or Los picos de Europa. Also bouncing with life as the Feria/Festival was about to begin. Great food and shopping and a chance to explore further afield for the more adventurous. The real Spain😊

    We loved Santander.

    We loved Santander. Great restaurants (some poor ones to avoid but you get those anywhere). This seems like a very safe city to walk around at night. It is easy to navigate and taxis are good value. The taxi from the airport to our accommodation was €26 Euro slightly more than what I was told on Google. The temperature in the summer is ideal much better than the searing heat in the south of Europe. There is a great vibe in the city.

    We have been to Santander many times to catch the ferry, but never spent the night there. So this time we did and wished we’d had more time. There are fabulous restaurants and great shops. Everywhere is within walking distance though there are some steep hills!

    Upgraded to Queen room, sea facing on the 7th floor. View of centro bodin was superb through picture window. Access and security with lift system was perfect.food in both cafe and restaurant was excellent as was value. Frankly I don’t see why it has 4 star classification when it easily matches previous 5 star restaurants I have used. Though I have regularly gone through Santander I have never stayed for more than a day. I had perceived La Bohia as an expensive hotel and hence dismissed it from mind. I was wrong. Very reasonable!
