Nobu Hotel San Sebastián has announced an exclusive partnership with the Cristóbal Balenciaga Museum in Getaria, offering guests a unique opportunity to explore the legacy of one of fashion’s most influential designers. The Balenciaga Package includes a privately guided tour of the museum, private transfers along the Basque coastline, and daily breakfast.

Located in Balenciaga’s birthplace, the Cristóbal Balenciaga Museum houses an extensive collection of over 5,100 pieces, including garments, accessories, and archival materials that trace the designer’s groundbreaking contributions to fashion. Since its opening in 2011, the museum has become a significant cultural institution, showcasing Balenciaga’s early work and his enduring influence on modern design. His revolutionary approach to structure, volume, and tailoring set new standards in haute couture, attracting clients such as Grace Kelly, Mona von Bismarck, and Rachel L. Mellon.

Balenciaga’s connection to San Sebastián is deeply rooted in his early years. The designer trained in the city and opened his first fashion houses there in 1917 and 1924, marking the beginning of a career that would redefine the fashion landscape.

Nobu Hotel San Sebastián, housed within the historic Vista Eder Palace on La Concha Beach, reflects a similar dedication to craftsmanship. The hotel blends Japanese minimalism with Belle Époque influences, offering an intimate collection of just 20 rooms and suites, each designed to complement the surrounding landscape.

This collaboration between the Cristóbal Balenciaga Museum and Nobu Hotel San Sebastián highlights a shared appreciation for heritage, innovation, and exceptional design, bringing together two cultural landmarks that celebrate both fashion and craftsmanship.
