Silken Ciudad de Vitoria

Basque Country


This 150-room chain hotel earns high marks for its modern, well-equipped carpeted rooms and excellent facilities. It's in a good location, just a short stroll from the historic centre, though there's plenty to keep you at the hotel, including a gastrobar-cafe, a piano bar, and new spa that opened in 2017.
