Fabulous juxtaposition of old and new in Rioja country
Pros:

This hotel was one of two inspirations for our trip to Spain for my 70th birthday. It is everything it is cracked up to be….a beautiful but quirky modern structure in the middle of captivating Rioja country, abutting the walkable and quaint medieval town of Elcolegio. The rooms are spectacular, as are the views, and service was top notch. The restaurant was great too….highly recommend on all counts!

A must see stunning hotel with a must visit winery!
Pros:

Outstanding 5-star hotel! Spacious, nicely designed and comfortable rooms, huge bathroom, large and nice balcony. Very polite and helpful personnel. Excellent breakfast. SPA area is lovely and the gym is very well equipped.
On top of all above is the unique style and design by the genius Frank Gehry! Brilliant and mind-blowing, especially under the sunlight!

Magnificent Luxury Hotel in Rioja Region
Pros:

I first stayed at the Hotel Marques de Riscal over 7 years ago and could not wait to return. This time i was able to spend more time and every experience with the hotel was spectacular. The individualized experience at the hotel leaves every guest feeling special. The rooms were beautiful with stunning views. Carlos in Concierge Services and Daniel with the Front Desk Team went out of their way for myself and my family to make the vacation and 5 day stay at their hotel wonderful! Each day started with a super friendly breakfast restaurant team who delivered excellent service. Then days spent touring wineries recommended by Carlos and events with delicious recommended restaurants. Each day surpassed each other. The stay included an excellent tour of Marqués de Riscal winery. The stay could not have been better. Highly recommend! Sad to have left.

PAZ Y TRANQUILIDAD
Cons:

Los menús de los restaurantes. En concreto el plato de menestra de la carta y el postre de fresas al vinagre.
considero que el nivel de hotel y la zona donde se encuentra debería tener mejor cocina.

Por otro lado desapareció un aparato bucal que uso por las noches, lo deje en el vaso de agua para que se limpiara y lo tiraron. han sido amables ya que me pusieron todo tipo de facilidades e incluso asumir el coste de la nueva compra. Les hare llegar la factura.
