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.
