Discover our new gym, the Spirit Fitness Club, one of the largest and best-equipped in Bilbao
Traveling no longer means neglecting all your healthy habits. Increasingly more people want to keep active even when away from home, whether on a business trip or on holiday. Because moving, training, and taking care of yourself is not a trend—it’s a lifestyle. And when you find a hotel with gym that understands this philosophy, it transforms the travel experience. All of us at the Spirit Hotel Gran Bilbao know this, which is why we created the Spirit Fitness Club, a brand-new, bright, and fully-equipped gym for those who won’t settle for less than the best.
A modern and healthy hotel in Bilbao for the health conscious
The Spirit Hotel Gran Bilbao has become a benchmark hotel in Bilbao for travellers who value well-being. Our We Are Fit philosophy means we understand that taking care of yourself matters, and your stay should help you keep to your routine. Whether you’re here for business or to explore Bilbao, you’ll find an environment designed for you: a hotel with a high-quality gym, healthy dining options, and a modern atmosphere that helps you recharge.
Have you ever checked into a hotel, excited to use the advertised gym… only to find a small dark room with only a couple basic machines? It happens to many travellers: very few hotels in Bilbao can truly claim to have their own spacious and fully equipped gym. And when you train daily or follow a demanding workout schedule, that difference matters. At the Spirit Hotel Gran Bilbao, the gym is not an extra—it’s an essential part of the experience.
