NH Collection Villa de Bilbao

10/10 Excellent

"I don’t have any complaints. Room was clean, spacious, A/C worked fantastic. I did a few items laundered and it was an insane price tag of over 130€ for less than a load of laundry. I would stay there again, unless I wanted to be more central to the old town."

The Artist Grand Hotel of Art

10/10 Excellent

"The Artist Grand Hotel of Art, Bilbao – A True Artistic Masterpiece ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I just returned from a stay at The Artist Grand Hotel of Art in Bilbao, and it was one of the most memorable hotel experiences I’ve had in Europe. Perfectly located directly across from the iconic Guggenheim Museum, this 5-star property doesn’t just offer a place to sleep—it immerses you in art, design, and Bilbao’s vibrant energy from the moment you arrive. The location is unbeatable. Waking up to sweeping views of Frank Gehry’s architectural wonder right outside your window (especially from the higher floors or suites) is pure magic. The hotel’s design, a collaboration featuring artist Javier Mariscal, feels like an extension of the Guggenheim itself. The interiors are a stunning museum of 20th-century furniture and bold, whimsical details—think curated art installations, thoughtful contemporary touches, and spaces that spark creativity at every turn. Whether you’re in Bilbao for the museums, architecture, or Basque cuisine, this hotel elevates the entire trip. It’s not just accommodation—it’s part of the cultural experience. Highly recommend for art lovers, couples, or anyone seeking a memorable luxury stay. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommended – 10/10."
