Weird...almost "The Kings New Clothes" scenario. Hotel looks really out of place in this small old world Spanish village & seems as if it perhaps tried to match the much grander, more artistically designed Marques de Riscal hotel in nearby Elciego( which was full of American tourists when we called in...a good reason not to stay there?) Despite its "edgy"... More

We chose this hotel because it was an SLH in the middle of the Rioja wine country. It was a good location to explore this part of Spain. There is really nothing in this little town other than the hotel, but it made a good base. The design is very modern, and a bit "edgy", but we enjoyed it, and... More

Hard to find but worth it when you get there. Avant garde modern hotel, reached down narrow twisting roads through an ancient village. Weird architecture. Walls all at odd angles. From the outside it looks like a pile of mis-shaped Lego bricks. But hidden at the bottom of a V shape valley - yet against a steep a cliffside. Quirky.... More

Viura can be difficult to locate, particularly when arriving late at night with little to no lighting on the signs, but it is worth the hunt. The modern architecture suggests something out of a Tim Burton film, but there is a great deal of warmth and comfort on the inside. Viura is elegant and sophisticated, but does not feel stuffy....

This is our favorite hotel in Spain. If your driving be aware there are some very steep hills and narrow streets so getting a automatic transmission rental car is a big plus. I didn't and traded ours in for an automatic. About the hotel. Modern, artistic as you can see the photo. Emaculately clean. Very friendly and accomodating staff. Restaurant... More

This was an amazing find in Rioja, the hotel was stunning, the service excellent. We were truly welcomed and despite not having a garage for our motorcycle, the staff allowed us to put our bike into a secure dry area overnight whilst an amazing storm passed through. We sat on the terrace under cover of one of the canopies and... More

This is a beautiful modern hotel in the middle of a tiny medieval town in La Rioja region of Spain. The decor is beautiful. However if you are staying here as a base point for wine tasting is Spain, make sure you book the bodegas or wine cellar tastings BEFORE as the staff here are not extremely helpful in booking...

This is a modern hotel, all glass and concrete and if you like modern stuff then you will probably love this hotel. We had a deluxe room, which was suitably big and with a large window looking out onto the village. The bathroom, as mentioned in other reviews here, does not have a door. That's fine; you can't see into... More

This hotel is a cat in the dog kennel. its not quite right to its surroundings but its not too strange. The rooms were a complete joke for one and only reason. the shower has a glass wall which backs into the bedroom. why on earth if you were staying with a friend or family member would you find it...
