Axel Hotel San Sebastián opened in late 2019 and occupies a building on Calle Amara, in the Amara district of the city, a short walk from the old town, the Playa de la Concha and the renowned restaurant and pintxos scene that makes San Sebastián one of the most visited cities in northern Spain. The hotel has 100 rooms and a spa, and the design is informed by the city's relationship with the sea, fishing traditions and the character of the Bay of Biscay coastline.
