Hotel Miró
Minimalist fashion hotel
Minimalist fashion hotel
Menswear minimalism shapes the stay, which runs like a private gallery with contemporary photography and an unstaffed honesty bar.
What it’s good at
Notable
Fashion designer Antonio Miró styled the rooms in neutral tones behind green aluminum.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
these rooms are spare, spacious, futuristic and highly functional, in a dramatic palette of whites and creams against black carpets and black marble bathrooms.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Guggenheim Museum sits just down Alameda de Mazarredo, and the pintxos bars of Indautxu are a ten-minute walk south.
The rooms
Thirty street-facing rooms look onto Plaza Euskadi through floor-to-ceiling glass. Inside, crisp neutral fabrics contrast with black marble bathrooms.
The spa
Therapists offer reflexology and aromatherapy in the treatment room. The private thermal suite adds a chromotherapy shower beside the sauna.
Honesty Bar
Guests pour their own drinks beneath an illuminated spirits bookcase. Complimentary tea and coffee are available around the clock.
Restaurant
Miró Breakfast
Morning tables look out toward greenery, serving Basque free-range eggs and small-batch jams from Orduña.
How it began
The building reinterprets Bilbao's traditional enclosed balconies, called miradores, constructed during the post-industrial revival sparked by the Guggenheim.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
