Property Description
Since its opening in 1912, Hotel Maria Cristina, a Luxury Collection Hotel, has been intricately woven into the cultural and historical fabric of San Sebastian hotels. This charming seaside town on the southern tip of the Bay of Biscay became a favored retreat for royalty and aristocrats in the late 19th century, who flocked to enjoy its sunshine and the therapeutic benefits of sea bathing. A leisurely stroll along the boardwalk showcased high society, while the town transformed from a quaint fishing village into a vibrant cosmopolitan destination, necessitating the development of luxury hotels in San Sebastian. Designed by renowned architect Charles Mewes, known for the Ritz in Madrid and Paris, this 5-star hotel in San Sebastian offers a stunning river setting and sea views, quickly becoming the preferred accommodation for international elites. As part of the Marriott hotels in San Sebastian, Hotel Maria Cristina continues to embody luxury and elegance in this exquisite city.

Great hotel. The staff are very kind and friendly. I thank them all for the reception, the restaurant and the guards. I'll be back to him soon

I was asked a good ten times if I was a guest of the hotel because it was during the film festival. I felt like I was disturbing them because I was there as a simple guest and not as a guest of the festival. Or they must not like my face... When you pay twice as much for a hotel as normal because of this festival and you feel like an intruder who is constantly being spied on... you tell yourself that the hotel should have closed its doors to "simple" guests for the occasion.

The room was very nice, with a high-end feel, and a welcome champagne was provided. The front desk service is enthusiastic, helping to make restaurant reservations and providing various information. It's a little regrettable that there is no big mirror in the room, so I can't take a look at my whole body. I don’t know how celebrities would react if they tried on clothes without a full-length mirror when they came to stay.

The hotel is exquisite and clean. The location is very good. There are many things to do around. Fly in the ointment The room is too small, so small that it is difficult to put the suitcase completely. The Spanish ham and cheese served for breakfast in the morning was very good, and the semi-buffet breakfast was clean. Good for vacation.

Amazing property! A former palace. A beautiful view from our room. Service impeccable; staff very professional and friendly. Only suggestion: The Asian bistro had a nice ambiance but the food could be improved. All in all we had an excellent stay at Maria Cristina!
