What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
In the entry-level Premium Lofts and slightly larger Demi Loft Suites, plush sheepskin rugs are about the only nod to the old Galicia; the rest is a cosmopolitan mix of inset lighting, gleaming surfaces and pared down, subtly Japanese-style décor.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors face the Alameda gardens, with the bustling port and historic Casco Vello a short stroll away.
The rooms
Glass walls enclose black-and-white bathrooms fitted with hydromassage tubs, and touch panels adjust the bedroom lighting.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Waterfalls and underwater air bubble beds fill the heated pool, with sun loungers set across the solarium.
The spa
Treatment suites host Thai floor massages and Ayurvedic rituals, with dedicated rooms for aesthetic medicine.
At the table
Restaurante Alameda XXI serves Galician cuisine backed by a 200-label cellar, and Manhattan Lounge opens onto the plaza gardens.
How it began
Originally erected in 1942, the building's protected stone facade was dismantled block by block and reconstructed for the hotel.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
