Its bold architecture, the work of Peña Ganchegui, and its advanced technology contrast with the neo-classicism of its interior. A style absolutely in keeping with the legendary elegance and charm of its host city, San Sebastian.
The hotels location in Plaza de Pío XII makes it convenient for all main thoroughfares in the city. Guests can also walk to the historic centre, the Kursaal Conference Centre, the new beach at La Zurriola, the La Concha centre, the sports city at Anoeta and any of the main shopping centres.
Before taking your seat in the Plaza Restaurant, we recommend you to visit our cafe and enjoy one of the most Donostiarro (San Sebastian) traditions: an aperitif in the form of pintxos, these creative and tasty kebab-shaped mini-meals.
In the restaurant itself, you can be sure of a succulent lunch or dinner, based on dishes inspired by Basque or international cuisine. Luis Miguel Petrirena, our chef, has created an imaginative and carefully-crafted menu that will more than meet even the expectations of those of our guests who have come to San Sebastian attracted by the fame of its cuisine.

Amara Plaza does not disappoint!

I have the pleasure of having stayed at Amara Plaza several times. It is an excellent hotel with staff focused on the guests. It is a walking distance from downtown with easy access to buses. it is located in the vital neighborhood of Amara. I highly recommended.

Service was excellent. We arrived

Service was excellent. We arrived at 2:30am, 4 hours late having missed our connecting bus and having to wait for a later bus. It was only about 50 steps from the bus to the hotel. If you don't mind a 15 minute walk to the centre of the 'Old Town', you will probably like this hotel.

Right next to bus terminal

A good clean comfortable hotel within easy walking distance to the old part of the city. The bus terminal is right alongside the hotel which is a bonus if you are traveling by bus. The staff were helpful and very pleasant.

Lovely place in a good location,

Lovely place in a good location, though not in the city centre. 10 min. walk from central train station and 15min walk into old part of town. Great details such as free, yes completely free Nexpresso coffees (no limit to how many coffees) and baked muffins and croisants at least in the non-smocking floor !!! Free internet, brilliant food in the restaurant and caffe, very friendly waiters.

バスターミナルの目の前にあるので、サンセバスチャンを拠点にビルバオやフレンチバスク方面などいろいろ訪れたい人には最適です。朝食バイキングも種類が豊富で満足できました。部屋も隣の音が漏れることはほとんど無く、プライバシーが確保されていて良かったですが、排気の関係なのか隣室でタバコを吸う方がいるとその臭いが届き、かなり残念でした。それ以外は快適でした。
