Hotel Marqués de Riscal, Elciego, Basque Country , Spain
A 150-year-old winery (the oldest in the Rioja winefields) transformed into a dazzling City of Wine complex by Frank Gehry, whose unmistakable avant-garde design stamp of spectacular curves, tilted walls, zigzag windows, and cathedral-height ceilings at this Luxury Collection Hotel provide an elegant contrast to the historic wine cellars.
Mealtimes at the two restaurants (one a Michelin-starred masterpiece) are exceptional, but it's the wine experiences that take centre stage here: a guided bodega tour is included in your stay, and the Spa Vinothérapie® Caudalie offers all sorts of ways to indulge in the healing properties of the grape.
