Hotel Silken Ciudad Gijon  

On Gijón’s Cantabrian coast in a striking glass-and-steel building, just steps from Poniente and San Lorenzo beaches and the Aquarium. The hotel sits minutes from the city centre and the Bay of Biscay, with Asturias Airport about 36 km away.

134 luminous, modern rooms blend style with functionality and include minibars, flat-screen TVs, laptop-safe desks and bathrooms with bidets and complimentary toiletries. Expect non-smoking floors, an executive level and a large outdoor area that catches the sea breeze.

A full wellness centre features a spa with massages and body treatments, a gym, saunas and heated indoor pools — perfect for wake-up sea-breeze mornings or post-conference cooldowns. On-site parking, a bar and a café round out the practical comforts.

Extensive meeting facilities include modular conference rooms that can host up to 1,200 guests, a ballroom and a business centre, plus complimentary wired and wireless internet to keep teams connected.

Dine at the hotel’s Gala Restaurant or grab coffee in the café; a bar/lounge serves drinks and light bites. Buffet breakfasts are available (weekday and weekend hours vary), and limited room service is offered.
