Compare and book 3 Star hotels in Bilbao, Basque Country

Bilbao is in the heartland of the Spanish Basque country, and offers up a wide range of accommodation for business and leisure travellers, including a good selection of three-star hotels.

Why Stay in Bilbao?

Traditionally an industrial city, Bilbao evolved into a cosmopolitan hub for arts and culture following the opening of the Guggenheim Museum in 1997. But the city’s appeal doesn’t stop there. Stay in Bilbao and you can sample the very best of Basque food culture, from Michelin-starred restaurants to intimate pinxto (tapas) bars. On top of all that, there are two world-class exhibition centres – one just outside the city at the mouth of the Nervión river, and one right in the heart of Bilbao.

3 Star Hotels for Business and Leisure

Whether you’re visiting as a tourist or on business, you’ll find an excellent spread of three-star hotels in Bilbao. Expedia’s collection ranges from modern boutique hotels to traditional accommodation in historic buildings. Choose a three-star hotel in Bilbao’s city centre for easy access to the Guggenheim and other big attractions, or base yourself further north to explore the fishing villages and coastal resorts of Bilbao Bay.

What to See and Do in Bilbao

Fans of art and culture will find plenty to excite them in Bilbao. For contemporary work head straight to the Guggenheim Museum – but if your tastes are more traditional, you’ll love the Fine Arts museum’s collection of Old Masters. Looking for history? Explore the story of the city and its region at the Basque Museum and the Maritime Museum.

Riverside Walks and City Parks: Exploring Bilbao’s Open Spaces

Of course, there are plenty of things to do if museums aren’t your thing. One of the pleasures of the city is simply strolling its river-side boardwalk and taking in the sights. Explore the Abando district near the Guggenheim, and make sure you stop by the Doña Casilda Iturrizar park for the regular music and lights show by the fountains on summer evenings.

No matter whether you’re visiting Bilbao for business, for fun or for a bit of both, you’re sure to find a three-star hotel that’s right for you.
