Silken Coliseum

In the heart of Santander’s historic centre, just steps from the Town Hall, the Cathedral, and Plaza Porticada, Dorma Coliseum blends history with contemporary design, while paying tribute to classic cinema. The building, inaugurated in 1929 as the María Lisarda Theatre and later converted into the Coliseum cinema, has been remodelled preserving details of its cinematic past, with an elegant façade evoking the magic of old cinemas. Upon entering, the homage to the seventh art is immediately evident: rooms, lounges, and common areas are named after classic films, combining cinematic nostalgia with comfort. Its strategic location allows guests to explore Santander’s main cultural and architectural attractions on foot, offering a unique experience that fuses history and style in every stay.
