Hotel One Shot Tabakalera House
San Sebastian
At a glance
Hotel One Shot Tabakalera House is a design-led boutique hotel set within the Tabakalera International Centre for Contemporary Culture at Mandasko Dukea Pasealekua, 52. Its setting brings together accommodation, art and the architectural character of a former industrial building, creating a stay suited to travellers who value culture and considered interiors alongside a central base in San Sebastian.
The hotel’s visual identity draws on warm materials such as wood and copper, with carefully planned lighting that gives the spaces a calm, welcoming feel. Corridors are arranged like gallery spaces, while an evocative library offers another place to pause. Temporary exhibitions and artist residencies form part of the wider artistic programme, so the building has a cultural role beyond its guest rooms.
Its location is practical for exploring the city. The hotel stands close to the San Sebastián-Donostia bus and railway station, and within walking distance of the Old Town, the Kursaal and Mount Urgull. Zurriola beach is also nearby, while La Concha beach can be reached within a short distance. The surrounding area suits visitors planning a mix of galleries, architecture, seaside walks, historic streets and food-focused outings, including time in the Old Town’s pintxos bars.
Guest facilities include complimentary Wi-Fi in the rooms and shared areas, a 24-hour reception, luggage storage and lift access. A sauna and fitness room provide options for downtime, and a public car park is available through a hotel agreement with discounted rates. Rooms have air conditioning and heating, a universal adapter and access to a vertical steam iron on request. The hotel is smoke-free and has facilities adapted for guests with reduced mobility.
Breakfast is available on site, although the hotel’s character is defined more by its art and design setting than by a standalone dining concept. Families can request cots, baby baths and extra beds, subject to availability and, for extra beds, an additional charge. With its gallery-like circulation, contemporary culture programme and proximity to transport and city landmarks, Hotel One Shot Tabakalera House fits independent travellers, culture-oriented visitors and short city breaks that call for a distinctive architectural setting.
