Located right on the Plaza del Castillo in Pamplona's Old Town, the Gran Hotel La Perla has the ideal location (and has since 1881). One side of the hotel faces the plaza and the other faces Estafeta Street, one of the main routes in the Running of the Bulls. Previous guests have included Ernest Hemingway, Orson Welles, and Charlie Chaplin. The hotel was completely renovated in 2007 with superb modern amenities to add to its historic charm. It is one of the Leading Hotels of the World.
