EXTREMELY LUXURIOUS ROOMS AND SUITES
Designed by Frank O. Gehry – architect of Bilbao’s fabulous Guggenheim Museum – the Hotel Marqués de Riscal is a stunning example of the far reaches of architectural vision.
On first sight, you cannot fail to be thunderstruck. Two wings are connected by a spectacular suspended footbridge. The roof is a collation of massive titanium ribbons sensuously curving over the building and tumbling towards Earth in a dramatic cascade of metal.
Inside, you’ll find a collection of extremely luxurious rooms and suites, all differently shaped and all featuring the highest levels of advanced design. The décor includes dark marble bathrooms and a symphony of leather, clever lighting, raw maple, Gehry and Alvar Aalto-designed furniture, B&O entertainments systems…
All this modernism, at the heart of the Rioja wine region, in the medieval village of Elciego.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
