Hotel Akelarre

I've always loved hotels. This is why I ended up studying hospitality at Les Roches International School of Hotel Management in Marbella, Spain and working for Starwood, Kempinski and Mandarin Oriental. I've been a Spain specialist since 2019, which means that I've had the opportunity to stay in and inspect some wonderful properties over the years. Here, I'm sharing a collection of my favorite hotels.

From places to stay, what to visit, where to eat and 15 stop pintxo guide, this is your insider list of the top spots around town. Originally from California, I've been living in San Sebastian for several years and am eager to share a full run down of the places and spaces that make Spain’s most gastronomic city so special.
