Fodor's Expert Review Gran Hotel Domine Bilbao

Alameda de Mazarredo 61, Bilbao, Basque Country, 48009, Spain

This sleek art hotel across from the Guggenheim showcases the conceptual wit of Javier Mariscal, creator of Barcelona's 1992 Olympic mascot Cobi, and the structural know-how of Bilbao architect Iñaki Aurrekoetxea. Design highlights include undulating seven-story walls in the lobby, glass elevators, and bathrooms with wood-plank floors. Rooms are minimalist yet well appointed and decorated in calming grays, whites, and earth tones.

PROS

  • poster child of Bilbao's renaissance
  • breakfast on the rooftop terrace
  • spacious, updated rooms

CONS

  • lacks coziness
  • unremarkable food
  • soundproofing could be better
