The Artist Grand Hotel of Art

When I made this reservation several months ago, I was contacted by a staff member to see if I needed any additional information. I asked about transportation options from Madrid and was immediately given some good advice. This made me feel like this hotel was a good choice.||Our room was spacious and had very large twin beds. The bathroom was nice, with an excellent shower, good bathroom products, robes & slippers.||Staff very nice, especially the bellmen. ||Yummy chocolates left for us in the room when we were out at night.||The breakfasts were fantastic! Several “cooked options” come with the extensive buffet. We only ate simple things (e,g, omelette, a fried egg), but there were fancier offerings. The service was exceptional, and the view of the Guggenheim from the breakfast terrace was just amazing!||Location is fantastic for visiting the Guggenheim and walking along the river. Fine Arts museum also close. We walked into the newer parts of town, but found the old town more interesting in the evenings. A taxi to the old town area is inexpensive. We also walked back one night along the river.

We had excellent service from everyone we met at this lovely hotel right across the street from the Guggenheim museum, the Puppy, and the river path. Perfect location! We also loved the cocktail hour on the roof terrace at sunset. So beautiful! .

I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Artist Grand Hotel of Art in Bilbao, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The hotel is a true masterpiece, perfectly located right across from the Guggenheim Museum, offering stunning views that you can enjoy right from your room. The modern decor throughout the hotel is both elegant and artistic, with clean lines, stylish furnishings, and a calming color palette that lets the art shine. And speaking of art—it's everywhere! From the breathtaking 26-meter-high sculpture in the atrium to the curated pieces in the hallways and guest rooms, the hotel truly lives up to its name. It felt like I was living in a gallery. My room was spacious and beautifully designed, with floor-to-ceiling windows that looked out over the city and museum. Waking up to that view was a highlight of the trip. The rooftop terrace was another gem—perfect for a quiet coffee in the morning or a cocktail at sunset with panoramic views. The staff were warm and professional, and the overall atmosphere was sophisticated yet welcoming. If you love art, design, and exceptional comfort, I highly recommend staying at The Artist Grand Hotel of Art. It's more than a hotel—it's an experience.

This is a truly amazing hotel set in a beautiful position next to the Gufgenheim. We had a lovely, spacious room with a wonderful view of the Guggenheim and the river. The quality of the facilities is excellent and every comfort is catered for. The staff are both highly trained and friendly and a pleasure to deal with. |There are lots of little extras like the placing some.water in the car when bringing it back from the valet parked garage.|A wonderful experience!

We loved the convenience of the 2 minute walk to the Guggenheim . It was a nice hotel. Was Clean modern Quiet with extremely comfortable bed and pillows .|The shower was full blast hot and perfect ! Fantastic roof top bar with views of the amazing flower dog ! We only stayed one night but the staff was very friendly and helpful ! Would definitely recommend ! Dinner at Michelin sushi KUMA was outstanding , ice cream at Amorino super yum (get the dark chocolate sauce for $1 extra , just do it !) |We walked everywhere including down to the old town which was a nice 20 minute walk amongst beautiful buildings !

Very nice experience ! Hotel near guggenheim museum. Rooms very large and clean. People at reception , rooftop and restaurant are really nice. We did enjoy the breakfast in the rooftop bar. Menu is the restaurant is correct as well. A mistake was made on our bill but got easily corrected when we noticed it. We would really recommend !

We had a fabulous time at The Artist. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel truly welcome — overall they seemed extremely professional and effortlessly attentive throughout our stay. The rooms are elegant, spotless, and thoughtfully designed. The hotel offers a full range of services, making everything incredibly convenient. And the rooftop is superb too with direct view of the Guggenheim.

Our experience at the Artist Grand Hotel of Art in Bilbao was fantastic. Our room was beautiful and the amenities were perfect. The building itself IS art. Great and fun original paintings and sculpture throughout - and the Guggenheim directly across the street. And the BEST part of the whole place is the staff - super knowledgeable and so helpful. Hope to return soon!!

Our gracious host, artist grand hotel. A pleasant nights stay before the running of the bulls. Our first night in Spain

Amazing costumer service!! Beautiful modern hotel and room. Beautiful bathroom!! (No shower door though, my only complaint, but everything else was great! Would definitely go back!! Excellent buffet!!

Beautiful and wonderful staff, comfortable room with a wonderful bed, super clean and well located. Views from the roof top welcome you and your breakfast staff will woo you into an amazing way to start your day. This was our first stop in a 10 day Basque experience, and it was a red carpet reception!

After having seen this hotel on tv and knowing that it literally was a cross the street form the Guggenheim, we did a priceline try and got a good rate. The hotel is beautiful, the location is unbeatable, the rooms are solid. The shower sucks. Ive noticed in Spain these weird showers where it's a tub and a partial partition to block splashing from the shower head. That just doesn't cut it. I ask for simple things and my shower is one of them. Don't get me wrong, the bed, amenities, and the design is great but I'd give up those things for an awesome shower. I have no idea why they'd cut corners there when the rest of the hotel is so good.

Without a doubt the best hotel in Bilbao. They are located directly across the street from the Giggenhiem Museum and everything is walking distance or a short cab ride away. It place is modern, sleek, comfortable, artsy and as it should be for the price, location, and what they advertise. It was my favorite hotel during our European trip and I am looking forward to getting back there in the future. Our room had a nice view of the cylindrical rock sculpture that sprawled from the lobby to the ceiling. The frienly staff made vallet park easy, checking in and out a breeze, and even stocked up the vehicle with their own bottled water for our trip back to Asturias.

Perfect location in Bilbao! The hotel is very modern and has some unique artwork throughout the hotel. It is conveniently located right across the street from the Guggenheim and is also just a short walk into the old town. Rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful.

The Gran Hotel Domine Bilbao ("GHDB") is a very good hotel, conveniently located, opposite the Museum Guggenheim. The rooms are nice ; bathrooms also and large and convenient. We had one facing the Museum. We enjoyed the design by Javier Mariscal. The hotel is very coherent, the staff is helpful and friendly. We had breakfast one day on the top floor, where the Restaurant Doma is : good breakfast but rather expensive at 26 € per person, although it is a full buffet ! For breakfast, we recommend instead heading to the MiniBar Bilbao, behind the Iberdrola Tower : you can get there a great breakfast for much lower than half of the price at GHDB...

Very disappointing. We arrived after 2pm on the day of our reservation to be told that our room wasn't ready. We were kept waiting in the lobby for at least quarter of an hour without being offered any refreshments. Their only excuse was "it is very difficult because we are fully booked today." When we finally arrived at our room, we found that we had been given a twin room rather than the king size double we had reserved. Back at reception we were told that this was the only room available and that the type of room in the booking was just a preference, not a guarantee! So we asked for a refund and suddenly, as if by magic, a king size room became available. I suspect perhaps because we had booked through an offer on Expedia, we were flagged up on the system as "try to fob off these mugs with the bad rooms first." The room was OK but not great. The art on the walls is quirky and fun but the fridge was broken as was one of the wash basins. The bath was cracked and there was no kettle or iron in the room. One evening we came back to find our room door open. Not just unlocked but wide open and we are certain that we did not leave it that way. Fortunately nothing was missing. Also, while picking up the duvet, my partner found a couple of peanuts on the floor at the foot of the bed. We had not had any peanuts in the room. I certainly will not stay at a Silken hotel again.

Iffy. Hotel is well located across from Guggenheim and you get feeling like they are "trying" to be luxury hotel but aren't making the grade IMHO. I asked for extra room key cards and front desk resisted giving them to me. They said "normally" they don't give out an extra room key card. . . What the heck? The bathroom door had a god awful squeak and when we went to pee in the middle of the night it would wake up whoever was sleeping. And the design of the bathroom door wasn't thought out - the door opens inwards and to make sure it didn't hit the sink counter they put large rubber stoppers on the floor right where you stand in front of the mirror. Stubbed toe over and over again. Who puts foot hazard right where you stand? Last of all, bedding was too lightweight and room very cold. Would have needed a sleeping bag to stay warm. 3 stars might be too many but I'm trying to give benefit of doubt.
