Palacio Olabarri

The Palacio Olabarri is a historic building in the Campo Volantín neighborhood of Bilbao, built in the late 19th century. Architect Julián de Zubizarreta designed the estate in 1894 as a residence for the businessman Jesús José María Luciano Pascual Cosme de Olábarri y Zubiría. The palace's architecture shows clear French and English influences. From 1953, the building served as the headquarters of the Port Authority of Bilbao. After years of planning and urban development adjustments, the building was sold to the Luze hotel chain in 2023 to be converted into a luxury hotel. Today, you can admire the historic facade and the distinctive location in the city center, while the interior is being transformed into a modern hotel complex.
