WHY WE LOVE IT:
The Maria Cristina is the grand hotel of San Sebastián, a Belle Époque landmark on the Urumea river since 1912, a short stroll from La Concha beach and the old town's pintxos bars. It's elegant and classic, the home of the film festival, with a lovely bar and river-view rooms. My pick for a refined base in Spain's culinary capital.
INSIDER TIP:
