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.

Hotel opened in 1912, renovated in 2007. In this hotel 139 rooms, 1 floor.

Beautiful old grand dame hotel. Nicely done, General Manager was charming, attentive and made the rounds. Concierge needs more training. Not knowledgeable in different types of restaurants or museums. The GM told us about the Chillida outdoor museum. Terrific!!

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!

Top luxury in San Sebastian
The Maria Christina is a luxury property in the center of San Sebastian and offers great ambience, service, and comfort. Close to all the attractions: the old town, the beaches, and the scenic neighborhoods, this is a fabulous place to indulge yourself.

One of the best in San Sebastian!
Overall this was a fantastic hotel to stay in, first the pro's:
- very comfortable room and bed
- Alejo, the front desk / concierge manager is WONDERFUL. He and his team went above and beyond to make sure we made the most of our stay (set us up with private autos, reservations, great restaurant suggestions, etc)

The not so good:
- no a la carte breakfast, either pay 90 Euros for buffet or starve
- shower leaked onto the ground no matter what we tried to stop it from doing so.

All in all, great place to stay, excellent location, exceptional staff.

Spectacular room, guests services and amenities. The location is perfect on the river for old town, new town and Gros. It is a very quick and easy walk if you are planning for time on the beach as well. I walked with a chair and bag and was at beach in 5 minutes. I would choose this property again over a property just to be directly on the beach. The rooms were very spacious. We were surprised at the prices in the hotel bar (1 drink 24 euros) compared to the 5 star restaurants we enjoyed. But it does not change the amount of stars I give this hotel.

What a great place to stay. Thanks to all the staff who helped make our time here memorable. The servers who worked breakfast, those in the bar during the evening, and the concierge all added to a great experience. Thanks again.

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.

From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome, going above and beyond to make our stay special. The surprises they had prepared for my birthday were truly thoughtful and added a magical touch to our trip. The luxurious rooms, impeccable service, and attention to detail made it a memorable experience that exceeded all expectations. I can’t recommend this hotel enough for anyone looking to enjoy a perfect stay in San Sebastián. Five stars all the way!

I really like the hotel and enjoy everything except that there was no toilet amenity and when we asked for it, staff came to bring us… but quite stingy… 2 ladies for 1 tooth paste. Common, the rate is over 1000 Euro a night … it is not cheap guest house. (The hotel even charge nearly 50 Euro for parking, so you understand what I mean and I am Bonvoy member).

Beside that incident, I like everything and thank to the hotel manager.
