Area description
The Gran Hotel Domine Bilbao, facing the Guggenheim Museum, is the Silken Hotels' first five-star and the chain's pride. The GHBD expresses a contemporary concept that avoids ostentation and promotes fun. The project is infected by its neighbor, the Guggenheim's, activity and offers a space that contains a selection of furniture that represents the most emblematic design from the 20th century. Its singularity consists in the application of a concept of integral design, of great, formal coherence, carried out by Javier Mariscal and Fernando Salas with their respective teams. GHBD isn't only a hotel to stay at, but a colourist microcosmos that opens its door to whoever wishes to get close to it and have a coffee, a drink or eat in its restaurant

One Of The Best Ever!

The hotel has a magnificent location opposite the Guggenheim Museum and Bilbao's sculptural and fragrant "Puppy". My 10 year-old grandson and I arrived fairly late at night and after checking in to our beautiful room, crossed the street to walk around the museum and observe the play of light along the river against the titanium sheathed curves of the Guggenheim. It was pure magic. The hotel's buffet breakfast is abundant with many delicious offerings and the setting allows you to observe the Guggenheim in the changing moods of early morning light. The staff are gracious and welcoming and the whole experience was just truly wonderful in every way. Be sure to walk up the curving staircase to the top floors and look down for a marvelous visual and photographic sculptural treat. A few minutes walk away is Santiago Calatrava's airy pedestrian bridge. The hotel is excellently located to walk to restaurants, shopping and the old section of Bilbao, the Casco Viejo. The Silken Gran Domine is a treat, a delight and a wonderful guest experience.

I would definitely come back!

The staff were very kind and helpful in extending advice on how to move around town and so. The hotel is very stylish in design. It is quite impressive. I was given a Cava bottle as a Christmas gift :)

Pay a visit on a Friday/Saturday evening to the old town east of the river and you will find tens of packed bars with some really good pintxos (pronounced pinchos)!
