How do we rate a property?
We rate all our hotels, resorts, and lodges using our own bespoke grading system. We'll only invite a property into our collection once it's been assessed by one of our specialists. If it doesn't impress us, it doesn't make the cut.
From the quality of the food served in the restaurant to the amenities offered in each bedroom, we carefully rate each property to make sure it meets our high expectations.

About This Hotel
Located in San Sebastian's historic city center, the opulent Hotel Maria Cristina overlooks the Urumea River and is a short walk from beautiful sandy beaches.
Rising majestically above the historic center of San Sebastian, Hotel Maria Cristina is surrounded by colorful buildings, beautiful gardens and sparkling white sand beaches. Each of the hotel's 139 expansive rooms and suites are outfitted in rich fabrics, antique wood and luxurious marble.
Named after the Spanish queen who vacationed here and brought Europe’s fashionable upper classes in her wake, this grandest of grand hotels is both an expression of Basque culture and a cornerstone of the city’s social scene.
Fine food is at the heart of both city and hotel. Enjoy an award-winning tipple at Dry San Sebastian, a grown-up, glamorous cocktail bar, or dine at Café Saigon, where the focus is on the cuisines of China, Vietnam and Japan. Beyond the hotel, you'll be spoiled for choice. San Sebastian is a true culinary city, possessing more Michelin stars (16 at last count) per head of population than anywhere in the world.
The Mimo San Sebastián food shop and cooking school represent a fabulous addition to the hotel’s already generous range of services. Pick up luxurious provisions from the Mimo store, stocked with a curated range of Basque ingredients, cheese, charcuterie and wines. If you like that, you’ll love the in-house Mimo Cooking School, a unique venue for learning about and enjoying the very best of Spanish cuisine.
