Swimming Pool Hotels in San Sebastian
San Sebastian's pool hotels are a study in contrasts, spread from the beachfront to the hillsides. Along La Concha and Ondarreta, you'll find stylish stays like the Nobu Hotel San Sebastian, where the sea is your neighbor. Inland, properties like Catalonia Donosti and Zenit Convento San Martin offer rooftop pools with views over the old town and the bay, while Arima Hotel & Spa sits in a forested setting near the science museum.
The price spread is equally wide, from around 52 EUR at a functional 3-star with a pool to over 1000 EUR at the exclusive Nobu. For most travellers, the typical nightly rate is about 214 EUR, which buys a comfortable 4-star with a rooftop or seasonal pool.
