Hotel La Perla is a landmark of Pamplona's literary and festival history, having welcomed Ernest Hemingway during his visits for the running of the bulls. Located on Plaza del Castillo, the hotel blends old-world charm with modern comfort. Its facade is classic, but inside, a plaque marks Hemingway's preferred room. The lobby and bar evoke the 1920s, and guests can soak in the atmosphere that inspired his novel 'The Sun Also Rises'. Even if not staying overnight, stopping by for a drink offers a taste of Pamplona's storied past.
