Palacio Guendulain

Top choice in Pamplona


Inside the converted 18th-century former home of the viceroy of New Granada, this sumptuous hotel is Pamplona's most atmospheric place to stay. On arrival, you’re greeted by a museum-piece 17th-century carriage and grand staircases sweeping up to the 26 antique-filled rooms with Princess and the Pea–soft beds, enormous showers and regal armchairs. Its restaurant perfects Basque and Navarran cuisine.
