Hotel Cuevas, Hotel in Santillana del Mar, Spain
Hotel Cuevas is an adults-only hotel in Santillana del Mar, a medieval town on the northern coast of Spain, close to the famous caves of Altamira. The building combines rustic stone walls with modern rooms, some of which have balconies or terraces, private jacuzzis, and Smart TVs with air conditioning.
Santillana del Mar, the town where the hotel stands, grew up in the Middle Ages around a monastery that housed the religious veneration of Saint Juliana. Over the centuries, the manor houses and noble palaces that still line its streets today attracted wealthy families from across the region.
Hotel Cuevas sits in Santillana del Mar, a medieval town in northern Spain where the streets are entirely closed to cars and best explored on foot. The surrounding lanes are lined with old stone houses and small shops that reflect the daily life of the town well.
The hotel sits in the heart of Santillana del Mar, so the old town is easy to explore on foot from the front door. There is a monitored private parking area with electric vehicle charging points, open around the clock.
The hotel has a library of around 700 books, many donated by a local writer, with an exchange corner where guests can leave or take a book. Right next to it is a bar with an open fireplace that becomes the center of evenings in the colder months.
