Hotel Maria Cristina, with its 29 luxury suites, is located in the heart of San Sebastian, the charming seaside town on the southern tip of the Bay of Biscay. In the late 19th century, it became a hotspot for royalty and aristocrats seeking sunshine and fresh sea breezes. Today, it’s the ultimate destination for foodies and wine lovers, surrounded by world-famous restaurants and just steps away from the old town—the vibrant heart of San Sebastian, where pintxos and endless pours of txakoli await. 🌞🍷🍴🌊
