Did you know that the Catalonia Donosti hotel is built on an old convent from the 17th and 18th centuries? We have maintained the spectacular north façade, which preserves the bell tower with its two towers and the central body of the church with restored masonry. The building and all the elements that are preserved have a high historical value and are protected by the Urban Heritage of San Sebastián. The façade of the old convent contrasts with the main entrance of the hotel, newly built and with a modern design, creating a stylistic opposition that will surprise you. Upon entering, you will be invaded by a feeling of warmth thanks to the elegant atmosphere achieved with an English-inspired and stately decoration, with noble materials and fabrics such as velvet, marble, copper, dark wood and decorative elements of local origin. If there is something you cannot miss at the Catalonia Donosti hotel, it is the incredible views from the panoramic roof terrace over La Concha beach, the Cathedral and the city centre. In addition, on hot days, you can enjoy a refreshing swim in our urban pool and solarium with sun loungers. On the other hand, on the viewing terrace you will find tables and armchairs to relax admiring the views and, during the summer months, you can have a cocktail, a glass of wine or reserve it for your private events. Enjoy Basque gastronomy in its avant-garde version and with touches of Catalan cuisine at the Aldapeta Gastrobar. A tribute to the culinary tradition of the Basque Country that prioritizes the highest quality local ingredients. Delight your palate with the grilled monkfish with fried mussels or the suckling pig shoulder in its juice with Idiazábal cloud. For a more informal meal, the bar area offers its own menu of dishes, such as steak tartar brioche, txuleta hamburger or Iberian ham croquettes, as well as cocktails and wines. Discover a world of sensations in our wellness space, which has more than 350 m2 to achieve total relaxation. Enjoy the pool with jets, the Finnish sauna, the steam bath, the cold water pool or treat yourself to a massage in our cabins. To continue taking care of your body, in our gym you will find the latest technology in weight-training equipment and cardio machines. The Catalonia Donosti hotel is also the perfect setting for both business and family events. We offer you 5 meeting rooms, some of them with natural light and all equipped with the latest generation audiovisual gadgets. The largest, perfect for corporate conferences, are the Santa Clara room, with partitions and a capacity of up to 180 people, and the San Bartolomé room, which can accommodate up to 140 attendees in its open format. The rest of the smaller rooms are ideal for family celebrations such as birthdays, communions or meals on holidays. In addition, we have our own parking in the same building with a charging point for electric cars (rates to consult with reception via email or phone) and parking for bicycles. Donosti is a lively city with a great cultural scene, which is why our hotel is a great option to stay during the San Sebastian International Film Festival. If you come for tourism, remember to visit the three beaches in the city, or four if we count the one on the Island of Santa Clara, the most famous being Playa de la Concha. Don't miss the San Telmo Museum, dedicated to Basque society, the Aquarium, one of the most important in Europe, the Buen Pastor Cathedral, just two minutes from the hotel, or the famous Chillida Comb of the Winds. Whether for business or pleasure, Catalonia Donosti is your hotel in San Sebastián!
