The genuine five star hotel in Bilbao: Frank Gehry drew his first sketches of the Guggenheim Museum in one of its rooms. It has ever since been related to the museum and chosen by every distinguished visitor to the city: from Jane Fonda to the Dalai Lama, along with Gwyneth Paltrow or Lenny Kravitz, have made this hotel their home in Bilbao. Located in downtown Bilbao, the hotel is ideally situated just a five minute walk away from the Guggenheim Museum and next to the rest of city attractions.

There are 53 rooms and suites, including a floor for lady executives and non-smoking rooms. The decor and colour are different on each floor. Individual air conditioning and heating, marble bathrooms, satellite TV, direct dial telephone, radio, mini bar and hair dryer, safe deposit box, room service 24 hours.

This hotel is housed in a superb building of traditional architecture reminding the beginning of the century manor constructions.

The lobby and entrance area is medium in size, functional and very elegant in decoration.The soft beige marbled floors, white coloured walls make a contrast with the dark wooden reception counter which gives the area a smart look.
