In order to accommodate MICE travelers (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, Exhibitions) who participate in events at the Kursaal, Arrizul Congress came to be in 2017, the most elegant hotel in Gros, one of the most dynamic and authentic areas of San Sebastián. This accommodation option embodies –like none other– the spirit of this neighborhood: the hotel is built in a century-old building whose architectural details have been preserved; its facilities are specifically designed to meet the needs of business customers (it has meeting rooms, a gym, complementary high-speed Wi-Fi, parking, a free coffee corner, etc.). It also has an area for storing guests’ surfboards and, in addition, the hotel has added and adapted one of the most rooted traditions of Gros, the pintxo-pote (which consists of offering a tapa and a drink together at an affordable price), inviting guests every Thursday afternoon to taste regional specialties such as cheese and gildas (a typical tapa featuring anchovies), pairing them with txakoli and cider.
This introduction to the pintxo-pote tradition is not the only detail that has captivated the guests of Arrizul Congress, as the hotel treats its clients to a welcome glass of cava, a breakfast featuring local products, a free minibar in its 46 rooms, and a guided tour around the city with a multilingual guide – starting, of course, in Gros, San Sebastián’s trendy neighborhood.
