Hotel Luze Boutique San Sebastián

Perched on Mount Igueldo with the Cantabrian Sea spread out below, this boutique hotel sits far enough above San Sebastián to feel like a different planet, though the old town is a short drive down. Rooms lean toward classic elegance, some with private terraces and Jacuzzis over the gardens. An infinity pool, a spa, an in-house Michelin-starred restaurant, and a bistro serving Basque fare fill out the day without requiring any particular ambition.
