The recent past of this 17th/18th Century ancestral mansion is closely linked to the arts and literature. The main door leads to bright, welcoming common rooms with wooden floors and ornamental, traditional-style furniture and décor. The air-conditioned hotel offers 28 rooms in total and offers a lobby with 24-hour reception, a hotel safe, currency exchange facility and lift access. A café, bar, restaurant, TV room and Internet access all feature. Room and laundry services are also offered. Parking facilities are available to guests arriving by car. The main entrance, medium in size, preceeds bright and welcoming spaces always decorated with traditional furniture and details.

The hotel is located in the heart of Santillana del Mar, a small Cantabrian town whose origins date back to the 8th Century. Altamira Museum and Santillana Zoo can both be found just a 15-minute walk away.

The dining room offers guests a wide variety of dishes prepared using local produce. Some of most representative dishes are the highland and Liébana stews "cocido montañés", hake, and typical desserts such as "sobao" and "quesada pasiega".
