Miramar Palace in San Sebastián can host seminars, congresses, receptions and weddings, with twelve rooms that seat from 25 to 195 guests and gardens above the sea. Business events come first here, and the palace lists meetings and congresses as a main use.
Seminars and company events
The palace sells its rooms for congresses, corporate meetings, product launches and gala dinners. Every room has daylight, and the largest, Julio Caro Baroja, holds 195 guests. For a plenary session of around 100, the Comedor Real, Salón de Música, Santa Clara and Pabellón de servicios all fit that number, and the Pabellón del Príncipe goes to 110. Smaller working groups can use the Salón Blanco (70), Salón de Madera (60), Salón Petit (50) or the Biblioteca (25). The Sala de Prensa holds 35 and carries its own technical equipment.
The technical offer is broad. The palace has its own audiovisual equipment and technicians, fiber optic connectivity, high-capacity Wi-Fi at 600 Mbps, videoconferencing, live streaming and simultaneous translation with interpretation booths and receivers. A team coordinates the technical and logistical side during the event. The suspended gardens over the sea serve for coffee breaks and short walks between sessions.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings and celebrations are sold as a separate offer. Rooms with sea views suit banquets and cocktails, and the gardens can be used for outdoor ceremonies and drinks. The team adapts the day to each couple. Ask for the guest limit that applies to your chosen room, since the figures below are per room.
Rooms and capacities
Twelve spaces are listed on the official site, each with one capacity figure: Julio Caro Baroja 195, Comedor Real 100, Salón de Música 100, Salón Blanco 70, Salón de Madera 60, Salón Petit 50, Biblioteca 25, Hall 60, Santa Clara 100, Pabellón de servicios 100, Sala de Prensa 35 and Pabellón del Príncipe 110. The site gives no floor areas or seating layouts, so confirm theater, banquet and classroom counts before you commit.
Catering
The palace does not run its own kitchen. It works with a selection of established catering companies, and you choose the concept: coffee break, working lunch, cocktail, banquet or a dinner by a Michelin-starred chef. This lets you match the menu to the group and the budget.
History and setting
Miramar Palace was built in 1893 in an English style, designed by Ralph Selden Wornum, above La Concha Bay. It stands on a hill between the beach and the estate park on Paseo de Miraconcha. The Comedor Real has an octagonal viewpoint over the bay, and the Salón de Madera keeps the English look.
Getting there
The palace is on Paseo de Miraconcha 48, in the west of San Sebastián, a short drive from the center. San Sebastián airport is about 20 km away, and Biarritz airport is about 50 km away. The nearest main railway station is Donostia-San Sebastián. Bedrooms are not offered on site, so groups stay in the city's hotels.
