Staying at The Artist – Grand Hotel of Art is entering the home of the artist. In a place that pays homage, more than to its works, to its awake, restless, and nonconformist spirit. The Artist – Grand Hotel of Art appeals to the sensibility of its guests; to feel creativity, passion for details, curiosity for flavours, and the desire to live new experiences.
In the heart of Bilbao’s artistic district, facing the Guggenheim Museum and just 500 meters from the Museum of Fine Arts, The Artist – Grand Hotel of Art stands as another protagonist of the city’s cultural and artistic life. Both for its guests and its inhabitants. Its location makes us one of the best options to explore the city. The historic center, the Hanging Bridge “Puente Colgante”, the Ribera Market, the Azkuna Center… The distance to Bilbao Airport via the “Salve” Bridge, as well as the access to the highway, quick and agile, offer unique possibilities to explore the Basque Coast; enjoy hiking, nature, culture, surfing, gastronomy, wineries, and vineyards.

Fantastic hotel! Quiet interior room on the 5th floor. Breakfast every morning on the 7th Floor terrace. Ate a couple of meals at the restaurant on the ground floor. All the food was very delicious and the staff was genuinely friendly and made us feel welcome. The best location in Bilbao for visiting the Guggenheim Museum. We were there when it had the excellent Ruth Asawa retrospective. Recommend the funicular and the restaurant at the top (turn right after exiting funicular at the top and short walk up hill to the restaurant on the right - busy place with excellent pinxtos.

We booked a "Smart View" room and were thrilled with the stunning view of the Guggenheim it offered. The room was gorgeous, spotless, extremely comfortable, and quiet. It contained everything you could wish for. Coffee, tea, and bottled water were thoughtfully replenished while we were out for the evening. We received a warm welcome and helpful advice and assistance from reception and had a wonderful cocktail on the Terrace while watching the sunset upon the Guggenheim. Truly memorable! This hotel is worthy of the numerous accolades it has earned not only for its enviable location but on the quality of service, amenities, and overall ambiance. Our only regret was it was our last night in Bilbao. I wish we could have stayed longer!

The one thing that stands out with this hotel is the service. Sure, the hotel is luxurious, the rooms are spacious, the beds are comfortable, it has a spa and a rooftop bar- but the way the staff makes you feel from the moment you enter the reception is quite unique! We were treated like royalty from beginning to end and we are so incredibly thankful. Can not recommend enough!

We stayed in the Grand Artiste hotel for two nights and had an amazing experience. Our room looked out to the Guggenheim Museum and was well fitted out. What really made the hotel was the staff, who were wonderful. Also, the breakfast, on floor 7 was incredible!!
