Hotel ILUNION San Mamés is a four-star hotel with 167 rooms at Calle Pérez Galdós 56 in the San Mamés district of Bilbao, Biscay, in Spain's Basque Country. The neighbourhood takes its name from the San Mamés football stadium, home of Athletic Club, which stands close by, and the San Mamés metro and rail interchange gives quick access to the city centre, Abando station and the airport bus. Plaza Moyúa is about 1.2 kilometres away, a walk of roughly fifteen to twenty minutes, and the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is a short metro or tram ride. The hotel belongs to the ILUNION group, which is associated with the employment of people with disabilities and with inclusive design, and the building is laid out with wheelchair-accessible areas as a core feature. The architecture is modern and functional, with bright public spaces rather than historic detail. Rooms are doubles and twins with standard four-star amenities, and the size and layout are well suited to business guests, families and groups attending matches or events at the stadium. Breakfast is served as a buffet, and the hotel's restaurant and bar handle other meals, while the surrounding streets offer a typical neighbourhood mix of bars, cafés and bakeries. Guests who want a more extensive pintxo selection usually take the metro to the Casco Viejo or walk to Indautxu. No spa or pool is listed, and the hotel's emphasis is on practical comfort and value. Service is courteous and efficient, aimed at travellers who value accessibility and transport links over a headline address. Prices in the €85–€200 range are lower than in the Abando core, with higher rates on football match days and during large events at the nearby venues.
