BASQUE DINING, FAMILY STYLE

Old World Atmosphere / Crafted with Love

A DESTINATION

The Star Hotel & Bar is rooted in Basque History. The owners may have changed since 1910, but the history, unique recipes and European atmosphere has lived on. A favorite among locals and travelers alike, you will always find good eats, classic drinks and a few Basque locals when you visit The Star.

OUR LEGACY

As Basque History and Folklore is passed down among generations, the Star Hotel has passed down through Basque Families. You can read more about the history of The Star, enjoy photos of patrons having fun at The Star and read articles about our cuisine from the US and across the World. We love sharing our heritage and our deep love of all Basque culture.
