Axel Hotel Bilbao is the newest urban property in the Axel Hotels portfolio, opening in 2024 on the banks of the Nervión estuary in the Bilbao La Vieja neighbourhood. The building has a strong industrial character with architectural nods to the nearby Guggenheim Museum, with copper materials and undulating metal structures informing the interior design. The hotel is positioned on the Muelle de la Merced, facing the river, with the Casco Viejo a short walk across the water. Facilities include a pool, gym, sauna, jacuzzi and a rooftop skybar. The hotel runs regular shows and events, and its location in Bilbao La Vieja puts it within the most culturally active part of the city.
