Built in 1912 for its namesake Spanish queen, Hotel Maria Cristina reclaimed its own nobility after a $25 million renovation. Centrally located and just blocks from pretty La Concha Beach, this belle epoque beauty serves opulence on a silver tray in each of its 139 smartly appointed guest rooms and suites (ask for one with a private balcony). Start a memorable day with a delicious breakfast in the grand breakfast room. For dinner, opt for the country’s finest Asian fare at Café Saigon. The concierge will be happy to organize authentic adventures and private car service to help you explore the area.
At the Dry San Sebastián Bar, order a martini and scan the walls lined with photos of the illustrious celebrities who’ve stayed here during the city’s international film festival.
