Overlooking the sea in the very heart of the city of San Sebastian (northern Spain), Kursaal is a cutting edge architectural complex, which has been granted the European Union Mies van der Rohe Award for Architecture. It has the latest technology and offers multipurpose, versatile spaces. The Kursaal conference centre is an ideal location to hold any event format.

The city, San Sebastian, is an elegant and cosmopolitan business destination, headquarters of the International Film Festival and European Culture Capital 2016.

In this setting, the Kursaal, innovative in its design and infrastructure, is a landmark for international companies. It accommodates all kinds of events and meetings: conventions, board of directors, symposiums, board meetings, public presentations, business agreement signings, press conferences and social events such as cocktail parties, concerts, banquets and gala luncheons.

Companies that have chosen the Kursaal to hold their conventions and corporate meetings include KPMG, Panda Software, Movistar, Jaguar, Wella, Schwarzkopf, Volkswagen, Deutsche Bank, L’Oreal, Procter & Gamble, Eroski, Schweppes, Orona and Henkel.

Professional integrated services

The Kursaal provides customers with personal attention and the most innovative technological features. Flexibility and capacity to control all the details and needs during the development of any given event are among the highlights of this comprehensive service. A specialised team takes an active part both in the project and its implementation, managing a wide range of services: from audiovisual, stage lighting or material hire to technical and hostess staff or simultaneous translation. In addition, the organisers have the opportunity to contract services à la carte, including technical or staff resources.

Kursaal lights events

A rather unique option at the San Sebastian conference hall is the possibility of using the façade as an illuminated showcase for the image and brand of companies that hold events in the Kursaal.

But besides being a unique building, the conference hall offers the latest technology and a comprehensive service to assist the organisation of the most demanding events, all with a tested quality thanks to international endorsements like the ISO-9001 or the certificates in Environmental Management and Universal Accessibility.

Gastronomy, a distinguishing selection

One unique and distinguishing offer of the Kursaal is the restaurant service. Luis Aduriz is at the head of the team, the chef that ranks third among restaurateurs worldwide according to “Restaurant” magazine and holds two Michelin stars. This makes the Kursaal restaurant service unique, given that it is the only conference centre in the world with such an award-winning chef.
Based on high quality service, everything is possible at Kursaal, gastronomically speaking: haute cuisine lunch and banquets, a special coffee break, a cocktail with the bright and avant-garde foyer/hall for 1,800 guests, a gala dinner with some pintxos on a beautiful terrace overlooking the sea and the beach.
