Akelarre, Relais & Chateaux Hotel

Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom

Nearest Airport - Donostia - San Sebastian (EAS)

Size - 22 Rooms

Room Style - Classic

Vibe - Sophisticated

Perched hillside on Monte Igueldo overlooking the Bay of Biscay, Akelarre is one of the world's rare hotels built around a three-Michelin-star restaurant. Chef Pedro Subijana, a titan of New Basque cuisine, has presided over his namesake restaurant for decades; floor-to-ceiling glass walls frame breathtaking views from every table. There's a second, more relaxed venue serving cocktails and seasonal fare, along with a test kitchen for demonstrations and tastings. Unwind in the spa's hydrotherapy circuit or with a personalized treatment. The 22 minimalist rooms exude a quiet Nordic elegance.


Insider Tip

The hotel's wine cellar holds hundreds of prestigious vintages; ask about a private sommelier-guided tasting. San Sebastián's famous pintxos bars are just five minutes away by car.
