Dorma Coliseum  

In the heart of Santander’s historic centre, a short stroll from the Town Hall, Cathedral and Plaza Porticada. Five minutes on foot to the main train and bus stations, about a 15-minute drive from Santander Airport and a 2-minute drive to the ferry terminal. El Sardinero Beach sits roughly 2 miles away; Mercado La Esperanza and Plaza de las Atarazanas are right nearby.

Housed on the site of a former cinema, the hotel keeps a cinematic vibe with a striking façade and rooms, lounges and halls named after film classics. The 92 air‑conditioned rooms feature minibars, flat-screen TVs and bathrooms with tubs or showers and bidets. Expect a modern, urban feel that mixes cinema nostalgia with clean, contemporary design.

Fitness center access (with discounted use of a nearby facility), complimentary wireless internet throughout, 24-hour front desk and concierge, wedding and banquet services, laundry and dry cleaning. There’s a private garage and onsite parking (charges apply), plus an airport shuttle available on request for a surcharge. Stop by the bar/lounge or café for a relaxed drink or snack — perfect after a day of city wandering.

Five function rooms that can join into the Coliseum Ballroom for up to 250 guests, 2476 sq ft (230 m²) of event space, AV equipment and meeting facilities. Complimentary Wi‑Fi/high‑speed internet and a cybercorner make it business‑friendly for conferences and corporate events.

Bambalinas bar/lounge serves lunch and dinner, and an on‑site coffee shop with extended hours keeps the caffeine flowing. Buffet breakfasts are offered on weekdays from 7:00–10:30 and weekends from 8:00–11:00 (for a fee), and room service is available during limited hours. Expect local flavors and Cantabrian touches on the menu.
