About The Artist Grand Hotel of Art
The Artist Grand Hotel of Art in Abandoibarra is a large hotel with a restaurant and bar. It sits on Mazarredo Zumarkalea, 61. With over 2000 reviews averaging 4.6 stars, it's clearly a popular spot. 4977 photos are available online, which gives you a good look at the place before you go. What does 'Grand Hotel of Art' mean? Well, I'm not sure I saw much art in the photos, but it looks clean and modern. The location is central, close to the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. It's LGBTQ+ friendly, which is always a plus. From the pictures, the bar looks to have a decent selection of drinks. I suspect the price point is higher than your average pintxos bar, given its hotel status. It looks like a good place to stay if you want to be in the thick of things, but maybe not the best choice if you're looking for a budget-friendly experience.
