Hotel Maria Cristina, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Sebastian

Each room exemplifies the hotel’s enchanting synthesis of past and present thanks to their gracious atmosphere, with modern details. Natural light highlights this rare combination through large windows and French doors offering relaxing river views in Premium Deluxe Rooms.

A sparkling crystal drop chandelier adds to the gracious atmosphere, illuminating the room’s state-of-the-art, yet artfully concealed amenities, including a 48-inch flat screen television with over 35 international channels as well as movies and music on demand. They can also utilize the work desk with a dual-line cordless phone and complimentary High Speed Internet Access. Individual climate control ensures an ideal environment, no matter the season.

In the middle of the room, an ornate quilted headboard frames Luxury Collection beds, either one king-size or two twins, which can be joined to form one super king-size bed. Wrapped in crisp cotton linens, they are topped with feather-filled duvets and a selection of plump pillows. Royal purple glass bedside lamps cast a soft glow that enhances the serene setting.

The marble and tile bathroom, with stainless steel accents, expands the bedroom’s contemporary color scheme. Along with a deep soaking tub and separate glass-enclosed rainforest shower, it features a vanity and Elemis bath amenities. Plush bathrobes and slippers remind guests of the royal treatment that the hotel’s namesake, Regent Maria Cristina, enjoyed in this very palace.
