Hotel Marqués De Riscal By Frank O. Gehry, Rioja Alavesa, Álava, Spain

The world of wine and the world of gastronomy meet at The Marques de Riscal Hotel. With the most exclusive crockery at their finger tips, guests can enjoy the creative and traditional Basque-Riojan cuisine of Francis Paniego, who in 2004 was the first Riojan chef to receive a Michelin star. The hotel also offers a more informal Wine Bar and a rooftop lounge with breath taking panoramic views. Its cozy fire-place will be perfect for guests who want to sample the thousands of wines from around the world found in the hotel’s cellars or enjoy the reading of one of the 1000 books of the library, all of them with topics related to the luxury world. Guests can also experience the entire process of wine production, from the most traditional to the newest and technologically most advanced processes.
