Hotel Carlton has a prime location on Plaza Federico Moyua in the heart of Bilbao. Occupying a beautiful 1920s building, this five-star luxury hotel is one of the city's most elegant places to stay. Bilbao itself is a lively cultural destination: should you choose to leave the four walls of Hotel Carlton, the Guggenheim museum is only a short walk away.

The facilities

Facilities are plentiful, in keeping with the hotel's five-star status. Dine from a classic Basque menu at the Carlton Restaurant, and keep on top of your fitness regime at the hotel gym (which also has a steam bath). Business folk are well catered-for too with conference space, a business centre and tailored business services.

The rooms

All Hotel Carlton's 142 rooms are smart and uniform; kitted out with classic-contemporary furniture, flat screen Tvs and Wi-Fi. Even Standard rooms are spacious, but check in to the singular Suite or one of the Demi-Suites for extra extra room.
