Palace
Best price guaranteedSecure paymentVIP treatment
A renovated palace offering an authentic vision of life in a 20th-century mansion.
Built by José Luis Oriol Urigüen, it reflects the architecture, decoration and furnishings of a bourgeoisie in search of its own style.
What was, back in 1912, the first palace in the Neguri area and a symbol of an aristocratic bourgeoisie with British leanings, is today a luxury hotel that embraces prestige, soul and avant-garde style a hundred years after its construction.
Its exterior beauty, featuring an architectural style resembling that of a medieval castle, and its historic pergola in the heart of the garden, are combined with the richness to be found in each room. Pieces made for Palacio Arriluce Hotel include works by artists such as Sonia Delaunay, Alberdi, Diego Canogar and Jon Cacenave, while the interior design shows the influence of William Morris, Art Deco and the colour characteristic of the family's past.

The history of this avant-garde 20th century palace through the eye of the camera.
Take a journey through the different stages in the life of this family palace to learn about its evolution, and the architecture and interior design that have graced this edifice since its beginnings.
1900
In the early 20th century, the middle classes in Bilbao began to abandon the residential areas of the city in favour of the nearby coastal town of Neguri (Getxo).
1912
A love of all things English in the cultural and social life of early 20th-century Bilbao was also reflected in the architecture and interior design of these new middle-class residences.
1925
The Marquis and Marchioness of Arriluce entrusted the construction of their new home to José Luis Oriol Urigüen, who designed it in an English historicist style, inspired by Victorian Gothic and Queen Anne details.
1925
The construction also included a late 19th century medieval feel that, when combined with an English historicist style, offered comfort, good layout and modern construction in technical terms.
1925
The Marquis and Marchioness of Arriluce’s new abode acted as a spur for other Bilbao families, and soon Neguri became a symbol of prestige and social status.
1930
The Palacio de Arriluce’s unique profile is part of the skyline that graces the eastern shore of the Bilbao estuary where it meets the sea.
2001
The Palacio de Arriluce was declared a Cultural Property under Special Protection in 2001.
2023
After its complete refurbishment, the Palacio de Arriluce is now opening its doors to offer serene and peaceful luxury in a 5-star hotel that embraces art and the most cutting-edge gastronomy of the area.
