Ercilla Lopez de Haro, Bilbao

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 Bilbao city centre, the hotel is ideally situated just a 5 minute walk away from the Guggenheim Museum and next to the rest of city attractions.

A five minute walk is all that it takes to reach the most amazing museum ever. And only a hundred metres from there, the Fine Arts Museum exhibits one of the best art collections in Spain. Just a block away from Gran Vía, trendy pubs and restaurants are all around the hotel. A nice walk along the river by the Calatrava bridge takes you right into the Old Town and its famous narrow streets and pintxos.
