Hotel Vincci Consulado de Bilbao

Hotel Vincci Consulado de Bilbao is a four-star hotel at Alameda de Mazarredo 22 in the Abandoibarra area of Bilbao, in Spain's Basque Country. Alameda de Mazarredo is a broad tree-lined avenue running along the Nervión estuary, and the hotel sits about 0.6 km in a straight line from Plaza Moyúa, between the Ensanche shopping district and the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. The Guggenheim is within a short walk, the Arenal and Casco Viejo old town are reachable on foot in around 15 to 20 minutes, and the Museo de Bellas Artes lies at the edge of Doña Casilda Park nearby. The name refers to the historic Consulado de Bilbao, the merchant guild that shaped the city's trade, and the hotel sits within the grand late nineteenth and early twentieth-century streetscape of the Ensanche. Listings describe an intimate property of 87 rooms, which gives it a smaller and more personal feel than the large chain hotels along the riverfront. Room types include double rooms, twin rooms and suites, and wheelchair-accessible areas are listed. Breakfast is normally served on site, and guests have many restaurants and pintxo bars within a few minutes' walk in the Ensanche and the old town. The service character is suited to couples, culture-focused visitors and business travellers who prefer a central base without a large-hotel atmosphere. Rates in this band typically run from about €180 to €450 per night, varying with the season, events and room category. The hotel can be reached on +34 946 442 061 or through its website, vincciconsuladodebilbao.com, for current rates and availability. Public transport, including metro and tram stops, is close by for trips beyond the centre.
