Concierge "This "outstanding hotel" with a glass exterior and wavy central atrium takes inspiration from the Guggenheim, the city's iconic architectural site just across the street."
Fodor's "As much modern design celebration as hotel, this Silken chain establishment directly across the street from the Guggenheim showcases the conceptual wit of Javier Mariscal." Full review

"The work of designer Javier Mariscal, this is a wonderfully inspiring five-star hotel, appropriately close to the Guggenheim and sporting one of the most creative lobbies you’ll ever see."

"Sitting just across the road from Bilbao's Guggenheim Museum, this upscale hotel takes a cue from its neighbor with inspired architecture and art-filled halls." Full review
Star Service "In a striking slanted glass and stone building with unbeatable views over the Guggenheim and the hills beyond, this well-run offering competes head-to-head with the Melia Bilbao in town." Full review

For the nominal uptick in the rates, choose a relatively roomy Comfort room over one of the compact Basic rooms, many of which face the interior of the building, diminishing any natural light.

"Chic designer hotel situated across the street from the Guggenheim Museum." Full review
Frommer's "Their odd angles echo the Guggenheim in a fractured plane of small reflections. Inside, each floor has a distinct color scheme in jewel and chocolate-box tones." Full review
Lonely Planet "Designer chic all the way, from the Javier Mariscal interiors to the Phillipe Starck and Arne Jacobsen fittings – and that’s just in the loos." Full review
