Authenticity

Hotel Villa Victoria by Intur is a modern boutique hotel that opened in August 2018, but you'll get a taste of old San Sebastián with its fresh, avant-garde approach and decor. At the hotel's café, you can enjoy traditional Basque cuisine, including the famous Txakoli wine with its slightly effervescent taste.

Location

The hotel is situated in a prime location on a fairly quiet street, just three minutes from La Concha Beach and a five-minute walk from the bustling Old Town. Here, you can indulge in the exceptional local cuisine and explore nearby sights, theaters, cultural centers, and wellness facilities. The Good Shepherd of San Sebastián Cathedral is just seven minutes on foot, and the riverfront another two minutes.

Rooms & Bathrooms

Villa Victoria offers 34 comfortable and stylish rooms with all the necessary comforts, though some units add terraces with incredible views of San Sebastián. Each room features a minibar and contemporary furnishings with bold colors and white linens. The charming bathrooms feature showers and toiletries from Sans, a French brand that uses pure ingredients without any unnecessary or harmful additives.

Amenities

The hotel's biggest highlight is its rooftop terrace, complete with a sun deck, sun loungers, and city views (you can even bring your own drinks with you). Although there is no spa onsite, there is a nearby La Perla spa you can take advantage of. There is an elevator in the hotel accessing the upper floors, but if you are in need of wheelchair-friendly accommodation, the hotel can help if you contact them in advance.

Family-Friendliness

Although the hotel doesn’t really draw families, children of any age are welcome, and those under three stay for free; free baby cribs are available upon request. Some rooms can accommodate families with small children. However, you won’t find any amenities catering to children at the hotel. 

Other Highlights

On the ground floor, you'll find a charming café where you can enjoy your daily breakfast and local cuisines, such as Idiazabal cheese, curd, Txakoli de Guetaria wine, and other options, like pastries, coffee, tea, and juices. The café's large windows and comfortable seating create an inviting atmosphere.
