Silken Gran Hotel Domine Bilbao, Bilbao
This trendy, design hotel is full of fun features, in the same spirit as its world-famous neighbour – the Guggenheim Museum. It was designed by the renowned artist, Javier Mariscal.
The Gran Hotel Domine looks out over the shining steel structure of the Guggenheim Museum – one of the most recognisable buildings in the world. The contemporary design of the hotel follows the innovative spirit of the gallery, with its unique angled windows, curved atrium and tall pebble sculpture.
Enjoy views of the Guggenheim, River Nervión and green hills beyond from the hotel’s rooftop terrace. You can also spend a peaceful moment in the reading corner – part modern art gallery and part comfortable lounge.
For dining, choose between the bar, cafe and on-site restaurant. Each one of these impressive venues is built in a distinctive style of the 20th century.
The Museum of Fine Arts and the Maritime Museum are both within 500 metres of the hotel. Just 5 minutes away you will find the shopping heart of the city and the new Zubiarte centre. Also in the surrounding streets you will find numerous traditional pintxos (tapas) bars.
The Gran Hotel Domine’s business centre allows you to connect to the internet and tend to other business needs.
Each floor has its own colour scheme: ochre, stone tones, greens, blues and reds. The bathroom is separated from the bedroom area by a glass partition. Bathrooms come with toiletries and tubs designed by Philippe Starck. Other highlights include the specially-designed Domine reading lamps.
Comfortable beds come with Egyptian cotton sheets, wool and cashmere bedding and a pillow menu.
