The Artist, facing the Guggenheim Museum, expresses a contemporary concept. The avant-garde project is infected by its neighbour, the Guggenheim’s, activity, which is reflected on the Lookout Terrace, located on the 7th floor. The Terrace offers breathtaking views of the Guggenheim Museum and surroundings.

Accommodations: The Artist has 145 rooms and suites. Rooms are spacious and modern with views over the Atrium, interior courtyard, the quiet Lersundi Street, or Guggenheim Museum.
The Atrium - The atrium flooded with interior light is one of the elements that singularises the The Artist. On entering the visitor encounters a sculptural piece by Mariscal, the Fossil Cypress, that occupies the entire verticality of the building, from the floor to the skylight that crowns the terrace.
Olio Restaurant - Lead by Abel Corral offers a new and modern perspective of the Basque Gastronomy, with a big influence of the local product and its culture, but worked up with a personal style and thanks to the search of innovative flavours, textures and different contrasts.
The Gallery - Its interiorism is a homage to Bauhaus and the designers who stood out in the 20’s of the 20th Century. This is why it’s expressed in black and white and uses stainless steel, a material that reflects the trust in new technology that moved them. The crystallised closing turns into an open view of the urban street with the Guggenheim in full view.
Rooftop Terrace - A large terrace paved with teakwood from where unusual views of the Guggenheim and the Ría can be taken in, and a covered zone by a copper-latticed canopy that shelters those wishing to shelter high up, allowing the appreciation of the geography of a place where modernisation doesn’t prevent the natural countryside from strongly coming forth from where the urban landscape is interrupted.
Sixty-One Lobby Bar - The hotel's lobby bar is a sleek work of art appropiate for all occasions. Walls are filled with fame paintings and drawings, and a special piece overlooks the space from the ceiling.
Approximate driving distance from Bilbao Airport is 12 kilometers.
