This innovatively designed, new hotel is very well located for exploring on foot all the main sights of the city, and is close to the river in the old part of central Bilbao. Being situated in a pedestrian street, the hotel is surrounded by the charming atmosphere of the most historic part of the city, yet you can still reach the hotel by car. The train station is also only 5 minutes away. Just around the corner you will find the Santiago Cathedral and the famous Guggenheim and Fine Arts museums are only 10 minutes away. Business travellers will appreciate being just 15 minutes from the Euskalduna Conference Centre. Opened in March 2005, the hotel also offers air conditioning and a 21-inch (53 cm) TV in the rooms. If you have forgotten your alarm clock, you can also receive a wake-up call via your telephone, before heading down to enjoy the continental breakfast (extra charge).
