"Perched in Igeldo as an adjunct to Pedro Subijana’s storied three‑Michelin‑star restaurant, Akelarre pairs a modernist slate‑faced hotel building with 22 restful rooms that favor oak‑lined walls, cool modern furniture (notably butterscotch leather armchairs), complete soundproofing and plate‑glass windows framing wide‑screen sea and countryside views. I felt the effect was so tranquil that it’s easy to forget you’re only a 10‑minute drive from downtown San Sebastián." - Paul Richardson, Marti Buckley
