Hotel Carlton

In the heart of Bilbao on Plaza Federico Moyua, a short walk from the old town and the Guggenheim Museum. This landmark, 1926 hotel sits on a main commercial street with easy access to the Conference Center and the Bay of Biscay—pet-friendly and perfect for city-breaks.

Housed in an architecturally protected, UNESCO-listed building, Hotel Carlton mixes classic grandeur with contemporary touches. Rooms are elegantly decorated with modern comforts—flat-screen TVs, minibars, baths or showers, bathrobes and slippers—many offering pleasant city views for a morning coffee.

Stay active in the fitness center or unwind in the steam bath; parking and concierge services simplify arrivals and day trips. Free Wi‑Fi runs throughout the property, plus laundry, dry cleaning, car hire and 24-hour reception keep things easy—wake up to city-view mornings and step straight into Bilbao.

Twelve meeting rooms (up to 300 attendees), a business center and conference facilities make this a solid pick for meetings and events. High-speed internet and presentation-ready spaces are available throughout the hotel.

Dine at the hotel restaurant Carlton or grab a drink in the bar/lounge. A café on site serves coffee and there’s a buffet breakfast to kick off the day—expect local flavors alongside classic hotel fare.
