Hotel Arrizul Congress

Set near the Kursaal Congress Centre, this hotel’s a handy base for seeing San Sebastian on foot. The Old Town, shopping areas, restaurant streets and pintxos bars are all within easy reach, while Zurriola Beach and La Concha are close enough to keep the sea firmly in the plan.

Back at the hotel, the facilities are useful and city-break friendly. There’s high-speed Wi-Fi, a meeting room, private parking, a gym and airport transfers on request, plus a free coffee corner at reception during set daytime hours. Breakfast’s served buffet-style each morning, giving you a good start before museums, beach walks or a day of very serious snacking. Later, the surrounding neighbourhood does the dining work beautifully, with pintxos bars, seafood spots and local restaurants nearby. Culture close, coffee sorted, beach never far – very tidy.
