Overlooking the estuary, in the Old Town, Tayko Bilbao is housed in a building dating from 1924 – the fourth reinforced concrete structure ever built in Spain – which retains its industrial heritage intact. The former warehouse now houses the astronaut who continues to welcome guests, whilst concrete, iron and stone interact with a warm, curated interior design that blends design and editorial hospitality.
With Ola Martín Berasategui’s Michelin-starred cuisine, staying here is like pausing time and immersing yourself in Bilbao’s history.
Ongi etorri!
Situated in the heart of Casco Viejo and overlooking the estuary, Tayko Bilbao was not created to isolate travellers; it exists as a clear window into the soul of the city.
Housed in an iconic 1924 landmark—the fourth building in Spain constructed with a reinforced concrete structure—the space preserves its raw industrial memory. Paying tribute to the historic and celebrated warehouse it once was, the hotel tenderly preserves the iconic astronaut figure that still welcomes visitors today. Concrete, iron, and stone converse with warm, light-filled, carefully curated interiors where design and editorial hospitality meet.
Anchored by the Michelin-starred gastronomy of Ola Martín Berasategui and the deep knowledge of a local team, staying here means transcending the traditional stay. It is an invitation to slow down, absorb Bilbao's architectural legacy, and inhabit its story.
