"We had a great stay while visiting Bilbao. We were traveling with children and elderly family members, and the hotel amenities fit the bill for all travelers. Location is great, very convenient and within walking distance to our primary destinations (Guggenheim Bilbao, river, tapas spots). Rooms were clean and comfortable, and the en suite kitchen was a huge bonus. Would definitely stay again should our travels take us back to Bilbao!"

Pocket Guide: Bilbao Bilbao Bay Hotels

Situated on the mouth of the Nervión River, Bilbao Bay spreads from the seaside towns of Getxo in the north to Santurtzi and Zierbena in the south. Holidaymakers flock here for the coastal resorts and the fresh seafood, but the area is also home to a number of business hotels, thanks to the proximity of the Bilbao Exhibition Centre.

Getting to Bilbao Bay

Bilbao Bay is located to the northwest of Bilbao city centre. It’s easy to reach, taking around 20 minutes by car or 30 minutes on Bilbao’s excellent Metro system. Bilbao Bay is also home to the ferry terminal, located in the town of Zierbena. So it’s an ideal place to stay if you’re travelling by ferry to or from Portsmouth.

Finding a Hotel in Bilbao Bay

If you’re coming to Bilbao Bay for an event at the Exhibition Centre, you’ll find a range of local business hotels with work and meeting spaces. For leisure visitors, Bilbao Bay accommodation choices include family B&Bs, aparthotels, or stylish four-or five-star grand hotels. You’ll also find a few big-name hotel brands here, as well as some one and two-star budget hotels for those travelling on a budget.

What Are the Main Attractions of Bilbao Bay?

Bilbao Bay makes a perfect escape from the bustle of the city centre. Relax on sandy beaches and in spa hotels, and dine on delicious seafood as the sun goes down over the Bay of Biscay. Don’t miss out on the little town of Santurtzi, famous for its fresh-caught and chargrilled sardines.

Cross Getxo’s Historic Bridge

At Getxo, see the famous Vizcaya ‘hanging’ bridge, the oldest shuttle bridge in the world and the only Basque UNESCO World Heritage Site. Cross it using the suspended gondola or passenger walkway high above the river, then take a relaxing walk round the marina.

Whether you’re looking for a comfortable budget hotel, a cheap stay near the ferry terminal, or a grand hotel for a special occasion, Expedia’s range of Bilbao Bay accommodation will have you covered. Use the search filters to find your perfect Bilbao Bay hotel.
