Since its unveiling in 2006, this masterpiece created by Frank Gehry to house the Hotel Marqués de Riscal has become a highly sought-after contemporary luxury retreat. Design, art, gastronomy, wine, and the lush landscape combine to create a memorable sojourn at The City of Wine. The hotel’s luxurious interior bears the unmistakable stamp of Gehry’s design. Tilted walls, zigzag windows, cathedral-height ceilings, and a host of bespoke details create the impression of accommodation as a work of art in its 43 rooms & suites.

Design, art, gastronomy, wine, and the lush landscape combine to create a memorable sojourn… The vision of Frank O. Gehry was to create a 21st-century château, an icon for one of the oldest wineries in the Rioja region, Vinos de Los Herederos de Marqués de Riscal, that connect the historic legacy with the modern art and wine nature. The building composition of rectilinear prisms that float above the ground by three super columns supports the building. The building rises nine meters above the ground and crosses the underground wine store of Marqués de Riscal to support itself with the three super columns. This allows spectacular views on all levels to see the vineyards, Elciego, and the Sierra de Cantabria mountains as a background. Everything is wrapped in cascades of titanium (Canopies) colored in pink, gold, and silver, symbolizing red wine's reddish hues, the mesh of the wine bottle of Marqués de Riscal, and the capsule of the bottle.

Rooms & Suites - Staying at the Hotel Marques de Riscal is an experience unlike any other, where Frank O. Gehry’s avant-garde, neoclassical style permeates throughout, providing splendor, joy, and surprise around every corner. From bedside cloud lamps made of white fabric balloons to the spacious green and black Italian marble baths to blackout drapes that shield late risers from the bright morning sun, every detail is designed to delight and inspire. In honor of the region's extraordinary wine-making tradition, all guests enjoy a complimentary bottle of wine upon arrival.

Discover all of the requisite state-of-the-art technology, including large-screen high-definition televisions, High-Speed Wi-Fi access, and voicemail. Suites come additionally furnished with Nespresso coffee machines and Porsche-designed electric kettles. The youngest guests' comfort is ensured with special bath products, bottle warmers, and edge and socket guards. The guests also enjoy complimentary access to the Vinothérapie® SPA Caudalie Marqués de Riscal's common areas: indoor swimming pool, relaxation area, steam room, fitness center, Jacuzzi, and the traditional foot bath, the Pediluvium. The smoke-free guest rooms will enrich your next stay at this Luxury Collection hotel.

Dining - The Place to Make Gastronomic Discoveries - Treat yourself to delicious food in the Michelin-starred Marqués de Riscal Restaurant or the "1860 Tradición" Restaurant panoramic views over the Cantabrian Mountains.

After a superb meal, relax by simply taking your favorite drink to the rooftop lounge and library.
