The IFCA building is at walking distance from the Sardinero Beach area. The city center is also reachable walking, but be aware that Santander is a hilly city and that you must climb in order to arrive to the campus (there are some escalators to ease the climb).
Recommended hotels, near the sea and the institute are:
- Hotel Chiqui
- Hotel Santemar
- Gran Hotel Sardinero
- Hotel Silken Rio Santander
- Hotel Hoyuela
- Hotel NH Ciudad de Santander
Santander is a very turistic place so there are many other available hotels in the city.
