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.
