About the Hotel

Rua Loureiros, 12, Santiago de Compostela, Spain, 15704

Hotel Altair, a 3-star Japanese-inspired hotel with a 9.3/10 Booking.com rating, offers a soothing fusion of fresh styling, contemporary touches and traditional charm at the northern end of Santiago's cobbled old town.

Stylish Galician Rooms

The 11 air-conditioned rooms at the Altaïr are equipped with minibars, flat-screen televisions, and free WiFi. Some rooms look out through typically Galician glassed-in galerías, while others feature windows set into slanted ceilings with city panoramas of the nearby Monasterio de San Francisco.

Regional Breakfast Options

Guests can enjoy an à la carte breakfast featuring typical regional products including artisan bread, fresh fruit, just-squeezed orange juice, tarta de Santiago, and Galician tetilla cheese. The velvety chairs, ceramics, and a color-bursting painting by 20th-century Spanish artist Carlos Sansegundo adorn the guests-only café.

Japanese-Inspired Design

The hotel has decoration inspired by the Japanese Wabi-Sabi philosophy, based in the mixture of freshness and simplicity with the beauty of the passing of time. A large bookshelf with books on art, design, Santiago, Galicia, and the Camino de Santiago separates the sitting area from the small bar.

Historic Center Location

Altaïr sits a five-minute stroll from the splendid Cathedral on majestic Praza do Obradoiro and ten minutes from the Mercado de Abastos with its local-produce stalls and buzzing bars. Cultural highlights nearby include the Museum of Pilgrimages of Santiago and Galician Center of Contemporary Art.
