The eye-popping architecture of the Hotel Marques de Riscal makes a real statement; it was designed and built by Frank O. Gehry, who Vanity Fair labeled ‘the most important architect of our age’.
Just take a minute to imagine booking yourself into this inspiring building in the center of the historic Basque country.
Glass-walled rooms offer views of the medieval town of Elciego, where history and culture flourish like the grapes hanging from their Rioja vineyards.
Marqués de Riscal is a Spanish business working in the wine industry. They have their origin and headquarters in the town of Elciego, where they first started making wine in 1858. They are the oldest winery in the historical territory of Álava in Northern Spain.
The City of Wine is a vineyard and leisure complex that includes the iconic Hotel Marqués de Riscal.
The world-class architect Frank Gehry designed the eccentric building that the former king of Spain inaugurated, Juan Carlos I.
The avant-garde building of Hotel Marqués de Riscal became the symbol of Elciego. The building is made of sandstone and covered with titanium plates.
The eye-popping building has four floors, and the hotel houses 43 rooms.
The hotel’s expert concierge team will take you on tours of the local area, where you can experience the region's remarkable history, wine, and food.
The vast Marqués de Riscal Winery collection is stored at the perfect temperature. It's the oldest winery in the Rioja region.
The spa has won 3 international awards for excellence and offers you the chance to submerge yourself in the Jacuzzi, hit the fitness center, or soak your feet in the pediluvium (foot bath).
Specialist treatments include hydro-therapies like the Barrel Bath, where you soak in an exfoliating grape marc, and the ritualistic Winemaker's Massage, which increases blood circulation and improves muscle tone.
Gastronomy is the order of the day here. And with three Michelin stars to his name, who better than Chef Francis Paniego to oversee your hotel dining experience.
You can order a la carte or perhaps try one of a number of ‘tasting ceremonies’ where you can enjoy a selection of their premium dishes. Needless to say, the wine list is to die for.
