Petit Palace Arana

Petit Palace Arana is a three-star hotel at Calle Bidebarrieta 2 in the Casco Viejo, the medieval old town of Bilbao in Spain's Basque Country. Calle Bidebarrieta is one of the old town's best-known streets, running from the Arenal and the Teatro Arriaga area toward Plaza Nueva and the Siete Calles, and the hotel sits about 0.9 km in a straight line from Plaza Moyúa. Guests step directly into the pedestrian heart of the Casco Viejo, with the Cathedral of Santiago, the Mercado de la Ribera and the Arenal promenade all within a few minutes on foot, and the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao about 25 minutes away along the river. The building is part of the historic old town fabric, and the Petit Palace brand is known for compact, design-conscious urban hotels with a modern interior set inside older buildings. Listings show double and twin rooms, and wheelchair-accessible areas are noted. Breakfast is usually available on site, though the main draw for dining is the location itself: Casco Viejo's Siete Calles and Plaza Nueva are lined with pintxo bars, taverns and restaurants, and many guests eat out for every meal. The service character is leisure-oriented and well suited to couples and short-stay visitors who want to be in the old town without the noise levels of the busiest bars. Rates in the mid-range band typically run from about €85 to €200 per night depending on the season. The hotel can be reached on +34 944 156 411 or through the Petit Palace website. Nightlife in the old town can be lively on weekends, so light sleepers may wish to ask about quieter room orientations when booking.
