SAFE HAVEN
The Axel Hotels Group prides itself on creating spaces by and for the LGBTQ+ community. One of its newest properties, Axel Hotel Bilbao has just opened in the Spanish northern city, located in the Bilbao neighbourhood of La Vieja, in front of the estuary and the medieval Old Town. The 110-room hotel offers cosy rooms, a restaurant with a menu that gives prominence to Basque cuisine, and the wellness facilities include a gym, Jacuzzi, sauna and hammam with masseuses available to hire. On the rooftop — which has a retractable roof for rainy days — is a solarium and swimming pool, where you can soak up the sun while enjoying a menu of pintxos and drinks from the gastrobar.
