The 6 Best Hotels for Families in the Basque Country
Traveling with the family requires a little bit extra from a hotel: extra space, extra patience, and extra amenities to make everyone happy. It also helps to be within close proximity to the best family-friendly sights and attractions. Below are the best hotels for families in the Basque Country.
NH Collection Villa de Bilbao
Why it made the list
This savvy contemporary hotel in the commercial center of Bilbao is just a few minutes walk to both the Guggenheim and the Bellas Artes museum. Even many of the standard rooms here come furnished with fold-out couches to sleep extra people, and suites have their own separate living room for the kids; perfect for parents who want their private space.
Legazpi Doce
Why it made the list
Whether visiting San Sebastián for the world-class food, for the beaches, or its historic beauty (we’re going to go with all of the above), Legazpi Doce is the ideal home away from home for families while here. While there are no pools or restaurants or big-hotel distractions, the super-stylish boutique property offers beautiful one, two, and three bedroom suites that are full-service apartments complete with kitchen and living room. The hotel is sandwiched between the Parte Vieja (the famed old town), the shopping district, and both of the city’s main beaches, all just a few blocks away.
Los Tres Reyes
Why it made the list
This towering luxury hotel in the center of Pamplona opens its outdoor pool and garden lounge during the high season. And we’re not talking about one of those adults-only lap pools; this is your full-on backyard summer pool party area, a playground for kids and adults alike. Add that to the giant gym, chic cocktail lounge, and nice restaurant here, and there really is something for everyone in the family without even having to leave the hotel…not that we would recommend not leaving—the property overlooks Pamplona’s extraordinary old town and its historical sights are ideal for family outings, including the landmarks involved in the annual running of the bulls. The weeklong Festival de San Fermín itself, however, is not the most family-friendly activity, so you may want to avoid the second week of July.
