Hotel Real Segovia and the film industry
Many are the stories and memories that keep the walls between which you are right now. The Hotel Real Segovia was once the first luxurious hotel to be opened in Segovia, called at that time ‘Gran Hotel Las Sirenas’. Its opening took place in 1952, driven by the large number of film shootings that began to develop at the time.
Sophia Loren
Personalities such as VIP as Sofía Loren have stayed in our rooms; she requested to remodel her room to her liking and requested to communicate two of the rooms to use them as a dressing room and an office. Sophia stayed here for the filming of films such as ‘The Pride and The Passion’ (1957) or ‘The Fall of the Roman Empire’ (1964). Between the walls of our warm facilities, rumour has it that the Italian actress and Cary Grant started a friendship that almost turned into something more.
Joan Fontaine
When it has just opened in June 1952, the hotel was visited by the legendary actress Joan Fontaine during the filming of ‘Three Love Stories’. It was the first fiction foreign filming in Segovia. Many of the scenes were filmed in the Plaza de San Martín, located right in front of this property.
Carmen Sevilla
Many Spanish film stars have also stayed at Gran Hotel Las Sirenas, including Carmen Sevilla, in 1957, on the occasion of the filming of ‘Aventura para dos’. Numerous scenes from this film were shot in the Plaza Mayor.
Leopold Stokowski
Not only personalities from the big screen have stayed here, but also great music professionals such as Leopold Stokowski (1956), considered one of the best conductors of the 20th century; the great pianist Antonio Iglesias (1956), or María Robles (1957), great concert harp player.
