What If We End the Year with a Brunch in Bilbao?

6 October 2026

There is an oyster stand and someone is carving ham. Champagne, please, and add a little more sweetness, or better yet a touch more saltiness to a gastronomic journey built on locally sourced products. But always, with the Guggenheim Bilbao as the perfect witness to the most special autumn mornings. Because in the eve lies the true magic of travel: the moment before Christmas, the moment to go out and discover the city. To begin the iconic brunch of The Artist.

Nominated for the 2026 Hotel&Mantel Awards in the “Best Brunch” category thanks to the proposals of its already emblematic The Rooftop Brunch, The Artist is everything that’s right when we set out to enjoy an autumn Bilbao (or a Christmas-season Bilbao) from a hotel where art, design, and gastronomy form a refuge for the senses.

The Artist: the best brunch has views of Bilbao

The Guggenheim also wants a brunch at The Artist.

There are many pleasures that could be framed by a single view, or better: by the panorama that leads us to enjoy the best brunch facing the iconic geometry of the Guggenheim Museum. The best plan for an autumn that nourishes The Rooftop Brunch proposals with the finest local recipes and zero-kilometer products.
