Gran Hotel La Perla  

In the heart of Pamplona's city centre, footsteps from Plaza del Castillo and the Museo del Encierro. This luxury, historic hotel puts you above the action — city views, festival sightlines and classic Navarre streets on your doorstep.

Housed in a storied building that welcomed names like Hemingway and Orson Welles, the hotel was fully remodeled and now offers 44 exterior rooms with private balconies overlooking Plaza del Castillo, Chapitela or Estafeta Street. Rooms are soundproofed and feature individual air conditioning, minibars, flat-screen (plasma) TVs, tactile reading lamps, private bathrooms with bidets and options for hydromassage showers or bathtubs.

Rent a bicycle or soak up the view from the terrace. On-site perks include a concierge, library, massage room and parking; babysitting and area shuttle services are available for a surcharge. Wake up to plaza-facing mornings and easy access to historic sights.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet throughout, a business center and lobby newspapers keep work simple. A roundtrip airport shuttle is available 24 hours for a surcharge.

An on-site restaurant serves local Navarrese flavors, while a coffee shop and bar keep things casual. 24-hour room service is offered and cooked-to-order breakfasts are available (weekdays 7:30–10:30, weekends 8:00–11:00, fee applies).
