Zinema7 Hotel

12 Best Hotels in San Sebastián, Spain | Condé Nast Traveler

"Occupying the former Astoria cinema in the Amara neighborhood, I enjoyed Zinema7’s breezy film‑themed charm—each room is named after an actor or director, photos celebrate San Sebastián Film Festival winners, and a library of film books plus a huge DVD collection make it fun for cinephiles and families alike. The ground‑floor Bistroteka uses recycled film reels in its ceiling installations, a permanent Alfred Hitchcock sculpture lounges in the lobby, and the overall coherence and humor make it one of the few hotels here the whole family can enjoy." - Paul Richardson, Marti Buckley

"Chic Cinema Overnight Stay in San Sebastián The Astoria7 hotel is one of the few spots in town with character. With Hollywood stars as its leitmotif (in homage to the San Sebastián Film Festival), each room is dedicated to a different actor. Comfortable, modern and clean, and with a lovely lobby area and restaurant/bar, Astoria7 is a great option in San Sebastian. The only downside is its location, a good 20 minute walk from the beach and the old part."

"Star-Studded Cocktails in the Astoria7 The Hotel Astoria 7 is one of the city's most emblematic hotels, with perhaps the best sense of humor. In December of 2015, they inaugurated a new cocktail bar led by Patxi Troitiño, a local barman who also happens to be the winner of the best Gin & Tonic in Spain in 2015. At the charming bar in the corner of the hotel's ground floor, you can try traditional and daring cocktails. Make sure to order the award winning gin & tonic. In his free time, the maestro's latest project has been to design six cocktails for Netflix based around their original series. ¡Action!"

"Built on the foundations of San Sebastián’s iconic Astoria movie theater, this sleek and modern hotel is all about Hollywood. The lively lobby library—a retro-inspired lounge often filled with laptop-toting freelancers—has a wall of DVDs available to borrow and is plastered with black-and-white portraits of movie stars, while each room is themed to a different film-industry heavyweight who attended the San Sebastián International Film Festival since it started in 1953. Even the restaurants—popular gourmet spots frequented by discerning locals—are adorned with cinema-themed artwork and accents, and one of the meeting rooms can be transformed into a private theater upon request, complete with cinema-style seating. Outside the front door, the view, too, is cinematic. Astoria7 isn’t right in the tourist-heavy old town, but rather on a leafy boulevard in a part of town where locals actually live. It's a 15-minute stroll to the iconic La Concha Beach, whose golden crescent is the dream of every urban beach babe and touring photographer. So, put on those sunglasses and take in the views."
