The oldest hotel in Bilbao, the Petit Palace Arana is a boutique property occupying a landmark 19th century building. Renovated in 2002, its modern interior – with its hand-hewn beams and spiral wooden staircases – offers a striking contrast to the traditional façade. The reception area is elegant and welcoming. The 64 medium sized guestrooms are decorated in a chic, understated style. The double rooms feature personal computers with 15 inch flat screen monitors, trouser press, Internet access, hydro showers and king size beds. The single occupancy rooms feature free Internet access and hydro showers. The hotel offers a Continental buffet every morning in its welcoming, top floor breakfast room.
