Ora Hotel Priorat: a designer retreat in the heart of the Priorat region
Nestled in the heart of Priorat, one of Spain’s most emblematic wine regions, the Ora Hotel Priorat is an oasis of tranquillity and sophistication.
Housed in the former abbey of Torroja del Priorat, an 18th century building meticulously converted into a hotel, this boutique establishment stands as an emblem of design and comfort in the midst of a landscape that is, in itself, an ode to quality viticulture.
Torroja del Priorat, located in the heart of the Priorat appellation of origin (DOQ), is distinguished by its beauty and traditional architecture, which blends into the landscape of terraced vineyards and steep hillsides.
This small but charming village is the ideal starting point to explore the peculiarities of the region: its licorella soil, the pronounced thermal fluctuations between day and night and the indigenous grape varieties, such as Samsó (Carignan) and Garnacha Negra, which give Priorat wines an unmistakable identity.
Accommodation with character and elegance
Ora Hotel Priorat offers an accommodation experience that combines the style of the old Priorat houses with all the modern comforts.
Each room in the hotel is named after natural and man-made elements that have defined the Priorat’s agricultural landscape over the centuries, offering guests a unique connection to the region’s history and culture.
From the intelligent use of design, such as the regulation of air and light through home automation, to the charming details such as soap and grape and hazelnut cream, every aspect has been carefully thought out to ensure an unforgettable stay.
The wine experience at Ora Hotel Priorat
The hotel is not only a haven for rest and relaxation, but also a centre for oenological exploration. The hotel’s wine cellar invites guests to immerse themselves in the essence of Priorat wine, offering tastings that tell the story of the region through its wines, in a rustic and sophisticated setting.
In addition, the hotel’s restaurant is a tribute to Catalan cuisine, with dishes that reflect the culinary traditions of the Priorat, prepared with fresh, local ingredients, accompanied, of course, by an exceptional selection of wines from the region.
But there is much more: Ora Hotel Priorat is the perfect starting point to explore the most prestigious wineries of the Priorat, offering visitors a variety of perspectives and techniques used in winemaking.
The hotel’s direct relationship with numerous renowned wineries allows personalised visits to be arranged, providing an in-depth understanding of the unique personality of the wines of this area, recognised worldwide for their exceptional quality.
Furthermore, Torroja del Priorat and its surroundings invite guests to connect with nature, whether hiking along its numerous trails or cycling through vineyards and olive groves. Ora Hotel Priorat promotes sustainable tourism, offering alternatives to enjoy the natural and scenic environment that defines this internationally renowned wine region.
On 13 and 14 March we will be able to get to know their proposal much more in depth in a new edition of FINE #WineTourism Marketplace.
