Scene
Sleek, contemporary hotel that attracts businesspeople and tourists in equal measure
Attracting business guests and tourists in equal measure, the NH Collection Santiago de Compostela is a clean-cut and contemporary hotel clad in gray slate. Its expansive, zen-like lobby is divided up by dark wooden shelves into smaller sections with brown and earthy green sofas, and accented by pebble accents in the floor, bamboo-filled vases, and striking busts of expressive men. The lobby leads seamlessly to the hotel’s bar, which has a pleasant outdoor courtyard terrace overlooking the sleek pool surrounded by a lush lawn. Meanwhile, the hotel’s restaurant has warm wooden floors and gray crushed velvet banquettes with lime green accents. Though interiors have some warm accents, the mostly neutral tones, dark wood and stone, and low lighting give the hotel a moody vibe that may be gloomy to some.
Location
A 15-minute walk from the center of Santiago, and its namesake cathedral
The NH Santiago de Compostela is a little outside the medieval center of town, a 15-minute walk or six-minute drive to the cathedral that Santiago is built around. The cathedral is also the endpoint of the eponymous pilgrimage, the Camino de Santiago, and it's surrounded by a number of historic sites and museums, as well as shops, bars, and restaurants. Farther away, the city of A Coruna is an hour’s drive away, while Vigo is an hour in the other direction. It's a 15-minute drive to Aeroporto de Santiago De Compostela or about 45 minutes to A Coruna Airport.
