Hotel Maria Cristina, a Luxury Collection Hotel
City Hotel
María Cristina Hotel, a luxurious five-star retreat in the heart of Donostia-San Sebastián, captivates with its Belle Époque grandeur, perched opposite the Victoria Eugenia Theatre with sweeping views of the Cantabrian Sea and Urumea River.
The 136 elegant rooms and suites unfold with timeless sophistication, featuring air-conditioned comfort, flat-screen satellite TVs, minibars, and opulent marble bathrooms with separate baths, rain-effect showers, bathrobes, and premium toiletries. Adorned with classic decor that echoes the hotel's 1912 heritage, once a haven for luminaries like Woody Allen and Elizabeth Taylor, each room creates a tranquil haven where attentive staff ensure thoughtful touches, from plush linens to warm welcomes, fostering a sense of belonging amid San Sebastián's vibrant coastal pulse.
Dining at the Breakfast Restaurant offers a sumptuous daily spread of local and international specialties, savoured in an elegant setting, while the DRY Martini cocktail bar crafts refined drinks for evening unwinds. Guests can immerse in curated experiences, from strolling the Old Town's pintxo-laden streets to exploring the nearby Kursaal Convention Centre during the San Sebastián Film Festival, capturing the city's cultural rhythm with effortless charm.
Nestled steps from the Old Town, 350 meters from the Kursaal Convention Centre, and a short journey from San Sebastián Airport, María Cristina Hotel offers seamless access to the city's treasures. A 24-hour front desk, free WiFi, and a legacy of hosting cinematic legends elevate the experience, ensuring serene renewal in a setting of historic elegance.
