Astoria7 Hotel
Style Film-star fabulous
Setting Foodie-friendly San Sebastián
The cinema-themed Astoria7 is a motion picture of a boutique hotel in San Sebastián, where every room is dedicated to a movie legend. Go to bed with Glenn Close, Dennis Hopper or Julie Christie, among others. Interiors are sleek and bright, with retro furniture and pistachio-, cloud- or coffee-coloured walls. Beyond the red-carpeted lobby, there’s a ’70s-style lounge where even the library is movie-themed.

Our favourite rooms
We hate to make it personal when it comes to Hollywood, but, as far as Astoria7 is concerned, it’s got to be Alfred. The Alfred Hitchcock suite on the top floor has its own ceiling-stowed projector and screen, as well as a separate lounge, large balcony and a cinema library. For lone rangers, some of the single rooms on the ninth floor have almost-double beds and their own balcony.
Packing tips
