The 2018 Michelin Guide says: “ A classic dining setting boasting stunning sea views. If the Bay of Biscay seawater seems a bit chilly, you can take a dip in the hotel’s indoor swimming pool to work up that appetite for the next meal! The hotel has a wonderful wine cellar for special events. In addition to Akelare, you can also dine at the new dining space Oteiza, which offers a Basque menu designed by Subijana (in addition to the ‘a la carte’ menu), in this more relaxed setting. Each tasting menu is priced at 195 EUR without drinks (and yes, you will want to taste some of the impressive 650 wines from Spain and abroad). You can review the Akelare three separate 8-dish tasting menus and a la carte offerings here. Pedro Subijana’s brand-new hotel at Monte Igueldo (overlooking the Bay of Biscay) is part of the Relais & Châteaux network, and each of the 22 rooms has amazing sea-views. One of the key figures in the New Basque Cuisine Movement, Pedro earned his first Michelin star for Akelare in 1978, the second in 1982 and the third in 2007. Pedro Subijana opened the doors to his new luxury hotel in San Sebastian back in July 2017 but he been the steering force behind the restaurant of the same name since 1975.
