Summary: Gaiarooms strengthens its Bilbao footprint by acquiring Basque Boutique and AliciaZZZ. Occupancy at 95% and rates above €80.

## Article

Gaiarooms keeps pushing in Bilbao. The operator just added **Basque Boutique** and **AliciaZZZ**, two properties totaling **14 rooms** to the 17 it already ran at Apartamentos Olivia. The result: **31 units** under its management in the Basque capital, as [reported by Hosteltur](https://www.hosteltur.com/177693_gaiarooms-compra-dos-alojamientos-en-bilbao-y-estudia-nuevas-incorporaciones.html?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=gaiarooms-compra-dos-alojamientos-en-bilbao-y-estudia-nuevas-incorporaciones).

The numbers speak: Basque Boutique, with 8 rooms, posts an **average rate of €91**, AliciaZZZ, 6 rooms, at **€84**. Both boast **occupancy above 95%**. That kind of performance invites more. Indeed, Gaiarooms is studying **three more properties** in the city and stays on track to reach **4,500 units by 2028**.

My take: concentrating product in high-demand urban destinations like Bilbao is not a fad, it's a logical play. Occupancies at 95% leave little room for error, and scale brings efficiency. Let's see how these two newcomers fit into their revenue model. For now, the move looks like a solid bet.
