Guggenheim shines!

Everywhere you look the building glimmers and moves! The shapes hold your interest for ages.
The surrounding courtyard is also impressive! The 39 foot tall Puppy sculpture, at the entry is impressive. Made completely from flowers. It was sadly under scaffold for flower change out, the day we were there but it's beauty still peaked through.
And we can't forget the SPIDER on the river Nervion side. Vendors capitalize on both equally!

After walking through the Luxury Mall of MBS we went through the tunnel, under the street to the Hotel Towers . The lobby is very much like a Vegas Casino. Tower 1 is where the observation deck & Le Noir Cocktail Bar is at the front of the Ship and the french restaurant Ce La Vi is located behind these closer to Tower 2. Then comes the infinite edged swimming pool and end the aft section of the Ship is the italian restaurant & bar Lavo . We went up to the 57th floor and requested a walk in reservation at Lavo around 6 pm and we got lucky and were seated out on the terrace by 6:30 pm. We were there for sunset and both light shows, with prime viewing spots. They didn't rush us out at all and we enjoyed a yummy meal! When we left around 8:30 there was a crazy long cue waiting for tables, we got so lucky!
