Hotel Carlton ReviewReturned to its former glory, this is the grande dame of all Bilbao hotels, long the leader before anyone ever heard of the Guggenheim Museum. Today you are likely to see such celebrities as Chelsea Clinton or Pierce Brosnan. In days of yore, it was Albert Einstein, Ernest Hemingway, or Ava Gardner. In the Civil War, the hotel was the seat of the Basque government. The lobby, with its magnificent stained glass, sets the 1919 style (the year it was built). The spacious guest rooms are the epitome of traditional style and taste, each with a luxurious bathroom. The building has been declared a historic, artistic, and cultural monument. At the Artagan Restaurant, classic Basque haute cuisine is served. Facilities: Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip. Related Features Partner Deals:

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
