54 Best Hotels in Bilbao and the Basque Country, Spain

Background Illustration for Hotels

Ever since the Guggenheim reinvented Bilbao as a design darling, the city’s hotel fleet has expanded and reflected (in the case of the Gran Hotel Domine, literally) the glitter and panache of Gehry's museum. Boutique hotels, high-design hotels, and high-rise mammoths have made the older hotels look small and quaint by comparison. Despite new developments, the López de Haro remains one of the city's best lodging options, and many longtime Bilbao visitors prefer the storied halls of the Hotel Carlton to the glass-and-steel labyrinths overlooking Abandoibarra and the Nervión estuary.

Pros

  • Pleasing minimalism

Basalore

$$$$ | Jaitzubia Auzoa 200, Hondarribia, Spain

San Sebastián's buzzy new Hotel Arbaso likes to call this luxurious hilltop villa with five rooms its finest "suite," but that's selling this sister property short; after all, most suites don't span 67 acres teeming with goats, sheep, and pampered Basque "Wagyu" cows (a passion project of the owner). Situated 20 minutes from both Hondarribia and San Sebastián, Basalore—with its on-call chef and chauffeur and ample room for events—is one of the most exclusive rentable homes in Spain. For a family looking for the ultimate splurge or for a deep-pocketed company planning a small retreat, this well-appointed getaway is hard to beat.

Pros

  • Endless room to spread out
  • Unparalleled privacy and exclusivity
  • In the middle of nowhere yet accessible to nearby cities

Cons

  • Books up quickly
  • Off-the-charts expensive
  • A bit of a hike from San Sebastián

Pros

Castillo de Arteaga

$$$ | Calle Gaztelubide 7, Gautegiz de Arteaga, 48314, Spain Fodor's Choice

Built in the mid-19th century for Empress Eugenia de Montijo, wife of Napoléon III, this neo-Gothic limestone castle-cum-hotel with rooms in the watchtowers and defensive walls is one of the most extraordinary lodgings in the area (and Relais & Châteaux agrees). Overlooking the Urdaibai Nature Reserve wetlands 30 minutes north of Bilbao, near Gernika, it's a favorite home base for bird-watchers, with excursions by canoe available for exploring the marshes. The excellent restaurant focuses on local products, from seafood to Txakolí, making this a culinary destination as well.

Pros

  • Views over the wetlands
  • Palatial interiors

Cons

  • Isolated from the village and 30 minutes from Bilbao
  • Spotty Wi-Fi in some rooms

Rioja's renowned "gastro hotel," Echaurren is a food lover's paradise with two envelope-pushing restaurants and Relais & Châteaux--certified digs. The crown jewel of the property is El Portal, a two-Michelin-star temple to Riojan cuisine with surprising offal preparations, but there's also casual bistro dining in El Cuartito. Rooms are minimal and modern with blond wood, large windows, and—in upgraded rooms—uncommon perks like double showers and wine-based bath products.

Arbaso means "ancestor" in Euskera, and though this newcomer is awash with modern comforts (e.g., Marshall speakers, solid gym, smart bidet toilets, Dyson hair dryers), it exudes Basqueness in its staff uniforms, inspired by traditional jai alai uniforms; cuisine at Narru restaurant, hinging on local meats and seafood; and design elements incorporating Basque timber and stone.
