This hotel was built to lodge the royal entourage at the end of the 19th century, when Santander was prominent on the list of elitist summer retreats. Visitors will be dazzled by the building's beauty, and it is worth mentioning the refined way in which guests are received. This restaurant, decorated with all manner of luxurious details, is both romantic and elegant. The food is traditional, with creative touches. The terrine of duck liver marinated in Port wine, the grilled sole with a light anchovy sauce and the sirloin steak flambéed in whisky with vegetables will delight the most demanding taste buds. There is an excellent wine list as well.
