The hotel had to wait until 1990. The two upper floors of the building, a sandstone castle with wonderful views of the sea in Zarautz, were transformed into 12 guestrooms, four of them ideally facing the beach. In 1990, Karlos Arguiñano appeared for the first time on ETB. That year marked the beginning of his successful TV career. It was then that he passed all the responsibilities of the business on to five of his children. Since then, they have been wisely supported by the driving force behind the business, Luisi, who ensures that guests are satisfied. 09_galeria_about.jpg Prev Next COFFEE HOUSE, HOTEL AND RESTAURANT UNDER THE SAME ROOF Eneko, Karlos's eldest son, is the maître d'hôtel, the head of the dining room.

Martín is in charge of the coffee house and the youngest brother, Joseba, is the head of the patisserie.
