Hotel Marqués de Riscal, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Elciego
ÁLAVA, BASQUE COUNTRY, SPAIN
Our take
Gehry's titanium ribbons erupting from the Rioja vines aren't subtle, and neither is the experience. This is a pilgrimage for architecture obsessives and serious wine people — the Marqués de Riscal estate wraps around you, the Michelin-starred restaurant earns its place, and you'll leave knowing Tempranillo differently. Come for two nights minimum, stay curious. If you need a beach, a pool scene, or anything resembling a city pulse, Elciego will feel like exile. This is rural, singular, and entirely unapologetic about it.
Notable Features
- Frank Gehry-designed building
- Proximity to renowned vineyards
- Michelin-starred dining at Marqués de Riscal Restaurant
