Hotel Ercilla de Bilbao, Autograph Collection
About the hotel
"As the Spanish city’s second-ever hotel, Hotel Ercilla de Bilbao is an icon of Basque Country heritage with its nostalgic guestrooms, vibrant dining and a famous rooftop bar."
Attractive accommodations feel wonderfully nostalgic, and room names like “Stylish” and “Vintage” accurately describe the ambience found within. The inspiration of the 70s and 80s is immediately apparent from the spaces’ retro furnishings, geometric mirrors and houndstooth-patterned accents, while crisp lines and a contemporary colour palette add just enough modernity to keep it from feeling kitschy.

Attractive accommodations feel wonderfully nostalgic, and room names like “Stylish” and “Vintage” accurately describe the ambience found within. The inspiration of the 70s and 80s is immediately apparent from the spaces’ retro furnishings, geometric mirrors and houndstooth-patterned accents, while crisp lines and a contemporary colour palette add just enough modernity to keep it from feeling kitschy. Rich wood and clever lighting create an intimate and inviting ambience, and bathrooms – though they might feel a touch small – are pretty and bright. For an upgraded experience, book one of the Vintage or Vintage Premium rooms: these swanky spaces feature bow windows, eye-catching curved furniture and a unique Anglo-Basque aesthetic. Across the board, thoughtful mod-cons like Nespresso machines come standard, and it's worth shelling out a little extra to snag a room with a city view.
Bilbao itself has an excellent foodie scene, with a dazzling assortment of Michelin-starred eateries and haute cuisine dining experiences to explore. You'll want to see (and more importantly, taste) as much of the regional gastronomy as you can, and a handful of venues within the hotel itself make for a good place to start. Basque Country’s phenomenal seafood is showcased in 99 Sushi Bar and Restaurant (this location is the lauded brand’s newest outpost), while the first-floor Bar Americano is a stylish spot for a meal consisting of familiar favourites (think cheeseburgers and cheesecake), weekend brunch or a cocktail whenever the mood strikes. The highlight of the hotel’s dining scene would have to be La Terraza – an iconic Bilbao venue with street food served al fresco, soundtracks provided by live DJs, killer cocktails and unbeatable 360-degree views of the cityscape.
Though you'll inevitably get your daily steps in by exploring Bilbao (and the Guggenheim) on foot, you'll also find a fitness centre within the hotel. Brightly illuminated by natural light and attractively designed, this space is kitted out with state-of-the-art equipment and a large swath of turf for stretching.
