Meliá Bilbao, a 5-star hotel facing the Euskalduna Palace and next to the Iberdrola Tower, is in Bilbao's financial district, near the Ría de Bilbao.

“The architectural design, inspired by Basque heritage, is award-winning; inside, I found the culinary experience at Aizian, with its local ingredients, compelling. I appreciate the comprehensive wellness centre that includes a heated pool and saunas, though I note that breakfast may not always hit the mark for luxury travelers. It's a great choice overall for its blend of culture and relaxation.”
