Fondly referred to as the Botxo (‘hole’) by its inhabitants, Bilbao exudes charm and artistic splendour. Unlike picture-perfect European cities like London or Paris, it previously lacked stand-out landmarks to give it that illustrious reputation. However, following certain investments and the arrival of the iconic Museo Guggenheim Bilbao, the city underwent a transformation that led to an influx of eager tourists - namely modern art fanatics.
Following the creation of an iconic landmark for Bilbao, the city now largely boasts modern architecture which allows the chic Hotel Mercure Jardins de Albia **** to blend perfectly into the city’s skyline. Not only are guests here privileged in location, they also benefit from the hotel’s luxurious charm. As part of the prestigious Mercure brand, you can imagine the quality - nothing shy of perfection. From its reception lobby to its guestrooms, the abode oozes stylish flair; just like its friend, the Guggenheim!
