PhilippinesSan Sebastian is one of the most beautiful cities in Spain and this hotel brings all of Europe’s old world beauty into a wonderfully modern environment. Everyone at the hotel clearly loves their city and does everything possible to be welcoming. The beauty of the location is breathtaking. Every restaurant suggested was amazing.

Hong KongSuperior hotel, room was beautiful, service was tops, and the concierge is a Clef d'Or and managed to secure us reservations to a three star Michelin restaurant with 48 hours notice, and the location is RIGHT next to the beach, Monte Urgull, the old town, and, if you're coming from Bilbao, the bus terminal. This is an elite hotel that is shockingly good value in an amazing location in an incredible city, and you should stay here.

SpainLuxurious hotel but one where you felt at home from the moment you arrived. Wonderful staff. Beautifully appointed rooms. Wonderful location as short walk to the old city, port and beaches but that short distance allowed for a quieter energy.
