Bilbao Bay Adults Only Vacations

Wonderful location by the Bilbao Athletic Club stadium. Easy walk or tram ride to Guggenheim Museum or el Centro. Superb breakfast buffet.

Everything was great but outside noise made it very difficult for me to sleep. Just how it was!

The Artist is the perfect location for a first-time visit to Bilbao: right across the street from the Guggenheim (room with a view) and walking distance to Casco Viejo and the shopping areas. Staff and service were welcoming and helpful. I would stay here again on my next visit.

Breakfast was a wide variety and excellent. The staff in dining room is also attentuve. The cleaning staff and front desk is also attentive. Plus they give you one welcome cocktail. Hotel location is central and 1 1/2 blocks to Guggenheim Museum. I could not have asked for a better and convenient location. Thank you Hotel Miro!

Great location, wonderful staff

This hotel is extremely stylish - lovely design of the rooms and shared areas. The front of house staff are friendly and helpful. The location is central, close to the main shopping areas and restaurant. But it’s perhaps a little noisy and lively at night time for us. A couple of things let it down. Spa and pool access comes at a cost, we were told €20 for one hour. Also our room turndown was poor. They hung up towels left on the floor and didn’t leave clean ones, the bed was not well made and they didn’t refresh the water. For a 5* property, you’d expect more.

The staff were friendly and open, assisting us when needed. The room and common spaces were very warm and comfortable, and the position of the hotel in the forest is appealing and also an easy bus ride into town. The spa is good, not huge.

Hotel Akelarre We chose this hotel for one of the most important moments of our lives, as I proposed to my partner during our stay, so the bar was incredibly high. After researching many of the best 5-star hotels across Europe, Hotel Akelarre stood out immediately and exceeded every expectation. The setting is truly special. Located in the peaceful Igueldo countryside, you feel completely removed from the world, yet you are only a short drive from San Sebastián. Waking up to uninterrupted views over the Bay of Biscay, with nothing but birds and distant cowbells, is something we will never forget. The design is exceptional, with a beautiful modern and minimal style that blends seamlessly into the landscape. Every detail feels intentional, from the materials and lighting to the layout of the spaces. Our room was spacious, spotless, and incredibly comfortable, with a huge bed, luxurious bathroom, and breathtaking views. Breakfast was the best we have ever had, with high-quality local ingredients and excellent made-to-order dishes. The spa was also a highlight, offering a calm and relaxing space with incredible views. Service was warm, professional, and attentive throughout. A special thank you to Mikel for helping coordinate such an important moment for us. If I had one small note, it would be that cocktail options were slightly limited compared to the rest of the experience. Overall, this is a truly special hotel and perfect for a memorable stay or special occasion.

Beautiful hotel with great location. Amazing staff. Highly recommend!!
