Hotel Luzón

In 1905 a mansion of ashlar stone was built in the centre of San Vicente de la Barquera, facing the estuary and in the middle of its own garden, designed from the start as a hotel: the Luzón. Inside, it keeps its original style. It has 36 rooms, and from here you can do everything on foot, from the harbour to the Puebla Vieja, and the bus station is a hundred metres away.

A 1905 mansion on Avenida Miramar

The hotel is at Avenida Miramar, 1, facing the estuary. From the door you reach the Maza bridge, the harbour and the Puerta del Mar, the way up to the castle and the church, in a few minutes. On the same avenue, a few doorways along, is Sotavento, and opposite the market, Augusto, with its lobster rice.

From single to quadruple

The 36 rooms range from singles to quadruples, taking in doubles and triples, all with a full bathroom, direct-dial telephone and television. There is a lift to all floors, wifi and central heating throughout the building. For a family of four, the quadruple saves booking two rooms.

High and low season rates

The website does not say which dates are high season or whether breakfast is included: ask when you request a price. The form on its website does not make a booking, only checks availability; the hotel replies to confirm. If you prefer, call 942 710 050.

Without a car from Santander

San Vicente's bus station is a hundred metres away, with the Santander line and the one that continues to Potes through the La Hermida gorge: see the bus station and stop. By car, take the Cantabrian motorway, exit 264, and the N-634. Santander airport is about 60 km away. The website does not mention private parking.

Closed in January

The hotel closes for the whole of January for maintenance and works. The rest of the year it is open.
