The Hotel Marqués de Riscal, arrives as a new exhibitor at FINE #WineTourism Marketplace with the distinction of having one of the most beautiful buildings in Spain. It is presented as a jewel in the heart of La Ciudad del Vino de Marqués de Riscal, designed by the famed architect Frank O. Gehry.

This hotel is not only an accommodation, but a work of art in itself, where luxury and wine tradition intertwine in an exceptional way.

Since its inauguration in 2006, the Hotel Marqués de Riscal has stood out for its avant-garde design and luxurious comfort. The structure, a fusion of titanium, steel and glass, stands majestically in the Rioja Alavesa region, creating a dialogue between modernity and the area’s wine-making history. Each of the 61 rooms and 10 suites, designed by Gehry, offers a unique experience to its guests, with breathtaking views and an interior decoration that combines elements of renowned designers such as Alvar Aalto and B&B Italia.
