Santander City Centre
Santander City Centre blends historic charm with coastal beauty. Wander through Belle Époque streets leading to the magnificent Gothic cathedral or explore Palacio de la Magdalena with its sweeping bay views. The Jardines de Pereda and waterfront promenades offer peaceful spots to watch boats glide across sapphire waters. Local markets buzz with energy while monuments tell stories of maritime heritage. Fresh seafood dominates local menus, from anchovies to squid dishes served in both traditional tabernas and modern restaurants. Boutique hotels in converted palaces sit alongside business-friendly accommodations. Getting around is a breeze with excellent walkability and frequent bus service connecting to beaches and train stations.





El Sardinero
El Sardinero's golden beaches stretch along Santander's stunning Bay of Biscay coastline, creating a postcard-perfect seaside escape. The elegant Belle Époque architecture and manicured Piquío Gardens add a touch of refinement to your beach days. When you're not swimming or sunbathing, explore the Magdalena Peninsula's walking trails or the grand Casino. Seafood restaurants with bay views dominate the dining scene, serving fresh catches in sophisticated settings. Choose from luxury hotels with spa amenities or upscale apartments, most offering spectacular ocean vistas. City buses connect easily to downtown Santander, though the flat promenade makes walking a pleasure along this stylish Spanish resort area.





Puertochico
Puertochico offers a taste of maritime elegance with its beautiful marina dotted with luxury yachts and traditional fishing boats. The tree-lined Paseo de Pereda invites you to stroll past Belle Époque buildings while soaking in stunning Santander Bay views. History buffs will appreciate the neighborhood's nautical heritage, visible in every corner of this refined waterfront district. Upscale seafood restaurants and pintxos bars line the promenade, serving fresh Cantabrian catches with harbor views. Boutique hotels and luxury apartments provide stylish accommodation options just steps from the water. The compact, walkable layout makes exploring this sophisticated slice of Santander a breeze.




La Gándara
Santander's La Gándara neighborhood is known for its beaches and waterfront, and entices visitors with attractions including Chico Port and Centro Botín.


Cabildo de Arriba
Cabildo de Arriba invites you to step back in time through its medieval streets and weathered stone facades. This ancient hillside quarter of Santander offers a peek into authentic Cantabrian life away from tourist crowds. Wander the narrow cobblestone alleys to discover traditional architecture, distant bay views, and the charming Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Consolación. Family-run tavernas serve regional specialties like cocido montañés at prices below city center averages. The neighborhood's steep terrain means challenging walks but rewards you with peaceful exploration of a genuine Spanish residential area. Central Santander's attractions are just a 15-20 minute downhill stroll away.

Gran Hotel Victoria
"Breakfast buffet was amazing, but I wish wr could have used the outside patio"
Hotel Picos de Europa
"It was lovely. Convenient location. Good transport links. Lots of nearby shops and cafes. Staff helpful. Air con much appreciated. Room done every day. And the restaurant staff didn't mind filing my flask with boiling water so that I could make a cuppa in my room!"
Hotel Art Santander
"We were originally looking for a hotel close to the Sardinero beach, but this turned out to be the ideal choice, since it is so close to the main part of the city, elevated on a hill with great views of the sea and within walking distance of great bars and restaurants, yet quiet and private. A major highlight was the staff, the friendliest and most helpful we've experienced in a long time. This was not just one person, everyone. We arrived very late and there was someone waiting for us, making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The room was very clean and comfy. I recommend paying a bit extra for the views."
Hotel Chiqui
"Had a great stay. Great view of the bay. Good breakfast. Great pool ( no changing room). Clean and everything worked. Room not luxurious but pleasant."
Arha Santander
"Reasonably priced and good value for money. Excellent location. It did the job for a night’s stay"
Hotel Bahia
"Great hotel in great location. The restaurant was a lovely surprise. The maître D was just the best."
NH Ciudad de Santander
"Great location, excellent staff"
Sercotel El Balcón de la Bahía
"Conditioner and shampoo in the bathroom would be better. Daniel found me some conditioner from another guest, which was great. On a map, he detailed so many places to go and it was wonderful! The bed was a little hard and the single blanket we found not quite enough for comfort. Local juice, fruit, yogurt and cake were lovely gifts! Towels and shower were gorgeous. Check out time is severe. It was a problem to be two minutes late!"
Ibis Styles Santander
"The best thing about this hotel is definitely the staff—they are amazing! Everyone was extremely friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout our stay. The biggest downside is the location. The hotel is quite far from the city center, which can be very inconvenient, especially if you plan on spending most of your time sightseeing and exploring the main attractions. Overall, the staff really made the experience a positive one, but I would definitely consider the distance from the city center when booking."
