Alameda de Mazarredo 61
48009 Bilbao
Spain
This trendy, design hotel is full of fun features, in the same spirit as its world-famous neighbour – the Guggenheim Museum. It was designed by the renowned artist, Javier Mariscal.
The Gran Hotel Domine looks out over the shining steel structure of the Guggenheim Museum – one of the most recognisable buildings in the world. The contemporary design of the hotel follows the innovative spirit of the gallery, with its unique angled windows, curved atrium and tall pebble sculpture.
Enjoy views of the Guggenheim, River Nervión and green hills beyond from the hotel’s rooftop terrace. You can also spend a peaceful moment in the reading corner – part modern art gallery and part comfortable lounge.
For dining, choose between the bar, cafe and on-site restaurant. Each one of these impressive venues is built in a distinctive style of the 20th century.

Hotel Chain: Hoteles Silken
Museums:
The hotel is strategically located in front of the Guggenheim Museum. The Museum of Fine Arts and the Maritime Museum are respectively 300m and 500m away.
Shops:
Five minutes from the hotel you will find the new Zubiarte shopping
centre. And the best shops, national and international brands, are
only three streets away.
Sightseeing:
Close to the hotel you can take the new tourist bus for a 1,5 hour
panoramic, guided city tour.
Another option is a relaxing walk along Bilbao's estuary to the historic
city centre, where you will find the Pasarela de Calatrava and the
future Isozaki Towers.
If time is short, you can always take Bilbao's modern trams next to
the Guggenheim Museum and enjoy some "pintxos" (Basque tapas)
in the old part of the city.
The GHDB includes 135 rooms and 10 suites, spread over 5 floors in the building. A suite can be found on every floor and another 6 on the sixth with great views of the Guggenheim. Special care has been put into each room interior to have a personalised and distinguished detail from the rest. Its modern equipment that includes an interactive television, functionality and aesthetics are combined to keep a perfect balance.
Restaurant: Beltz the Black
The taste for the essential that expresses Beltz the Black's minimalist design is transmitted to the food, where the prime material is the character.
Cafeteria: Le Metropol
Its interior design is a homage to Bauhaus and the designers who stood out in the 20's of the 20th century. The crystallised closing turns into an open view of the urban street with the Guggenheim in full view.
Bar: Splash & Crash
Red and white characterises its interior. The colours evoke the passion and purity that were necessary to believe in the ideals that were forged in the 60's, the period that inspired its decoration. This is a place thought out so one can express themselves openly over a good drink, listening to good music and enjoying a good late night atmosphere.
