About Hotel
King Alfonso XIII was responsible for promoting the creation of a grand hotel to satisfy the needs of the wealthier classes who, like himself, would gather in Santander during the summer months. The Hotel Real opened its doors to the public on 13 July 1917, and the King arrived in Santander by sea on 27 July of that same year, being able to make out, as soon as he entered the bay, the white and stately figure of the Hotel Real. Today the Hotel Real, having maintained neo-French references in its architectural style and its initial decoration, has introduced those modern elements necessary to ensure the service and quality to make it into the centre for the main economic, cultural and social activities of the city, and participate in a very active way in Santander's touristy image and development. Hotel amenities include Wifi in rooms, a Terrace and Gardens.
