Hotel Maisonnave is an establishment with a longstanding tradition in the city, and like its guests, has also done its share of travelling: at the start of the 1920s, the Hotel was located near Plaza del Castillo. At that time, Pamplona was a thriving city and the San Fermín festivities were starting to be known all over the world. It was during that period and in that place that the first foreign tourists began to stay at the Hotel. During the 1940s, the hotel changed hands and was purchased by its current owners, the Alemán family, who have managed it using a innovative approach that is constant, and evident in both the activities carried out at the hotel and its appearance. In addition, the hotel's lounges and restaurants have wonderful views of the city.
