Tayko Hotels
Hotel Anthology
The narrative of each city, crafted into a hotel
Just as painting, architecture, or writing tell a story, every city holds its own. At Tayko, we turn the hotel industry into our creative channel to narrate and live the truth of each destination.
Through our hotel anthology, we offer a profound way to experience the world. We create unique experiences rooted in the legacy of each building, inhabiting its history and expressing it through design, gastronomy, and a curated cultural program.
We seek to satisfy the intellectual, personal, and social curiosity of our guests. We transform their stay into a natural extension of the city and local life; a place where one ceases to be a spectator and becomes a participant in its story.
Unique architecture and interior design
The unique architecture and interior design of our spaces are the key to conveying the essence of the cities that welcome us. Restored buildings, built in the 1920s and with a strong character, have been the scene of great stories over the years. Stories that live on behind their walls, and that invite our guests to live an unparalleled experience through a sophisticated yet casual design proposal, always offering the utmost comfort.
Exceptional Gastronomy
Gastronomy, the other side of Tayko and the neuralgic point to unite travellers and local public. Our establishments have their own name, run by prestigious chefs to present the best of their cuisines and local produce. Gastronomy with the Martín Berasategui stamp in Bilbao, directed by Raúl Cabrera, has a Michelin-starred restaurant and a second, more casual space at street level to offer a haute cuisine experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Tayko Hotels and how many hotels does it have?
Tayko Hotels are 4-star boutique hotels housed in restored historic buildings, offering signature dining experiences: at Tayko Bilbao, the chef is Ola Martín Berasategui, who holds one Michelin star and a ‘Sol’ from the Repsol Guide. You can find out more about them all in the Hotels section of this website.
Why is it called Tayko Hotels?
The name Tayko comes from taikonaut and it pays tribute to the astronaut who for years dominated the collective imagination of the former Almacenes Zubicaray, the shop that occupied the ground floor of the building in Bilbao and which several generations of Bilbao residents remember. We felt it was only right that the company should give the hotel its name, rather than the other way round.
Is Tayko Hotels a hotel chain?
Tayko Hotels is not your typical chain: each hotel is independent and has its own character, set in a historic building in its city. What they share is the same approach to hospitality and gastronomy.
