Even the gray clouds, damp cold and off and on rain showers of late January/early February couldn't quash the warmth and liveliness of this smart, comfortable and modern boutique hotel. Situated right across the street from the eye-popping Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, we were a short walk to most tourist sights (Casco Viejo, shopping, museums, pintxos, vino). Mostly we walked and used umbrellas a great deal, but we found the city buses and underground were easy to negotiate. Our room included an outstanding breakfast with an attentive and friendly staff. The charming decor augmented by works of the popular artist Mariscal added to the vacation atmosphere "aboard the cruise ship, Gran Hotel Domine Bilbao": a maritime theme is used throughout the various venues in this hotel's facilities....most enjoyable and fun.
