Location in Old Town

Petit Palace Arana is located at the entrance to the Siete Calles (Seven Streets) in Bilbao's Old Town, near the Arriaga Theatre. The hotel is located along the Estuary of Bilbao and walking distance to the Guggenheim Museum. Pet owners can walk to the Arriaga Theatre, Santiago de Bilbao's Cathedral, the Bilbao Arena, the Dog's Fountain, the Etxebarria Park, the Gernika Gardens, and the Arenal Bridge.

“The oldest hotel in Bilbao boasts a prime spot opposite the Arriaga Theatre and retains original features like wood beams, really setting it apart. Though some rooms lean toward a basic aesthetic, the staff consistently earn high praise, and the location puts you in the heart of the Siete Calles area. In my opinion, this blend of history and central access makes it a worthwhile consideration.”
