Vincci Consulado de Bilbao hosts business meetings and receptions for up to 70 people indoors and up to 300 guests on its terraces. The 4-star hotel stands on the Bilbao estuary, between the Isozaki towers and the Guggenheim Museum, at Mazarredo Zumarkalea 22. It has 93 bedrooms, a restaurant and five event areas listed on its official site.
Seminars and company events
The hotel offers a dedicated meeting room, the Mazarredo Hall, for business meetings, conferences and social gatherings. It covers 70 square meters (7 by 10 meters), has a ceiling height of 2.4 meters, sits on level -1 and has natural light. The official site lists these layouts: theatre for 60, classroom for 42, banquet for 40, cabaret for 25, imperial for 22, U-shape for 18 and cocktail for 70. The hotel says its meeting spaces are equipped with modern technology. For a day that mixes a working session with a lunch or a drinks reception, ask the hotel how the hall can be combined with the restaurant or a terrace.
Rooms and capacities
Five event areas are listed, each with its own figures.
The Mazarredo Hall is the meeting room: 70 square meters, up to 60 people in theatre layout and 70 standing.
The Kondutxo Restaurant covers 80 square meters (4.5 by 18 meters) with a 4-meter ceiling and daylight. It takes 60 people at banquet tables, 35 in imperial layout and 100 for a cocktail.
The Kondutxo Covered Terrace is also 80 square meters and holds 80 guests for a cocktail. The cover protects the space from bad weather.
The Uncovered Kondutxo Terrace covers 550 square meters and holds 220 guests for a cocktail.
The Complete Kondutxo Terrace joins the outdoor areas into 670 square meters for up to 300 guests, with the estuary and the Guggenheim Museum as a backdrop. The hotel presents it for corporate events and large social celebrations.
Accommodation
The hotel has 93 bedrooms arranged around a tall central atrium. Categories on the official site include single rooms, double rooms with views of the estuary, standard doubles with views of the Guggenheim (17 square meters), junior suites with estuary or Guggenheim views, and interconnected rooms for families or small groups. Private parking is available on site.
Catering
The Kondutxo restaurant serves Basque cuisine with a modern approach, à la carte, and the Mirador Terrace is the hotel's other food and drink space. The official site does not describe set menus or catering packages for events, so confirm the formula, the minimum numbers and any outside caterer rules with the hotel when you request a date.
History and setting
Vincci Consulado de Bilbao opened in 2018. Its nautical design recalls a sailboat moving along the estuary. The building stands next to the river, between the Isozaki towers and the Guggenheim Museum, so guests arriving for a meeting are close to the city's main cultural sites. The terraces face the estuary and the museum.
Getting there
The hotel is at Mazarredo Zumarkalea 22, in the Abando district of Bilbao, on the estuary side of the center. It has private parking for guests who drive.
