Nobu to debut in San Sebastián in 2023
Nobu Hospitality, the global lifestyle brand founded by Nobu Matsuhisa, Robert De Niro and Meir Teper, is set to open its fourth Spanish destination – Nobu Hotel and Restaurant San Sebastián – in March 2023.
Occupying the site of the famed Palacio Vista Eder, constructed in 1912 and designed by renowned Spanish architect Francisco Urcola, the property will comprise 20 guestrooms and suites as well as a 98-cover Nobu restaurant offering panoramic views of La Concha Bay and the city.
Partnering with Nobu Hospitality on the new opening is Millenium Hospitality Real Estate (MHRE). With an existing collection of five-star hotels peppered throughout Spain and Portugal, MHRE’s strategy places an emphasis on the careful selection of properties and their location. Based on generating value by acquiring and repositioning hotel assets, MHRE is managed by a multidisciplinary team of prestigious professionals with extensive experience in hotel investment, boasting a large portfolio of assets both under operation and in the process of being repositioned.
“The partnership with Nobu Hospitality and launch of Nobu Hotel and Restaurant San Sebastián further places the region on the map as the ultimate gourmet hotspot,” says Javier Illán Plaza, President and CEO of MHRE. “I’m thrilled to be working with the brand to make this opening one of the country’s most exciting for 2023, which will be embraced by residents and visitors alike.”
Nobu Matsuhisa, Robert De Niro and Meir Teper state: “San Sebastián is an exciting location for the brand as good quality food is intrinsic to the destination. We’re so pleased to be partnering with Javier Illán Plaza on this project and to be opening our fourth hotel and restaurant in Spain, bringing the Nobu cuisine to a new audience of residents and travellers.”
Trevor Horwell, CEO of Nobu Hospitality, comments: “We are truly honoured to be entering the city of San Sebastián, well known for its cultural diversity and a beacon of gastronomic excellence in Spain. The Nobu Hotel and Restaurant San Sebastián are crafted on the tremendous vision of our partner, Millenium, to create a very special hospitality experience. We look forward to becoming a part of the local community whom we hold in such high regard.”
