URH Palacio de Oriol hotel

It is worth going to the center of Santurtzi to enjoy the beautiful views of the Abra Bay, especially from the Palacio de Oriol, an elegant and famous building that evokes an era where the Bay of Biscay became an exclusive summer place for rich and bourgeois families.
Today all of us mortals can go and enjoy these places. Today, the beautiful building from the end of the 19th Century is a modern NH hotel. If you are not staying there, don’t worry, because you can enjoy its beauty from the bar or restaurant, walking around it admiring its excellent viewpoint.

I left the car in the lower part, near the port and I felt like going up the steep slopes to reach this place where, besides the palace, there are various impressive buildings, gardens and parks that make they walk more enjoyable, with great views of the ria and the Biscay Bridge.

The NH Palacio de Oriol is not just any NH Hotel. It’s part of what the company calls “collection” hotels. They are charming hotels located in special places or in historical buildings. This one is located in an ancient palace from 1902. It has been remodeled with excellent taste, making it a truly special place.

It has been declared historical monument of the city. It is located in the strategic point of Santurce, with spectacular views of the Abra Bay. When you look out the bedroom window it seems as if you were floating over the ria.

I slept in a spectacular suite: a great bathroom with bathtub that communicates with the room with a big French window.

It is a very pretty hotel, the building is majestic and the rooms as one would expect from an NH hotel. It is in Santurzi, very close to the Biscay Bridge. It has very competitive prices. You can park nearby since it’s a residential neighborhood.
