The Best Hotels Near Casona del Judío, by the Record

Sailboats from the Puerto Chico marina are the view from this small boutique hotel facing Santander's bay. It's a compact, personable stay with clean contemporary interiors, and the location does a lot of the work: the Cantabrian Maritime Museum and the Palace of Festivals are essentially next door, the beach is a short walk, and the bay itself is listed among the most beautiful in the world, which the sailors apparently already knew.

A 17th-century palace in the foothills of the Pasiego Valley, restored into an eleven-room boutique hotel where the antiques are the decor, not the theme. The interiors lean into an old-money ease without feeling like a museum, and fourteen acres of gardens surround an indoor-outdoor pool with valley views. A small spa and a fine dining restaurant running Cantabrian tasting menus round out the picture. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.

The old chapel is now a cocktail bar, which tells you everything about how this clifftop palace in Getxo handles its history. A hotel carved from an English-style seaside mansion, it has coffered walls, stained-glass panels, a rare-book library, and a croquet lawn that someone clearly takes personally. Breakfast goes on the stone terrace above the harbor when the weather cooperates, and the wine cellar handles the cold months.
