Book the Hotel Marques de Riscal with VIP Benefits

Since its unveiling in 2006, the Hotel Marques de Riscal has become a highly sought-after contemporary luxury retreat. Design, art, gastronomy, wine, and the lush landscape create a memorable trip to 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 create a memorable trip!

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 connects 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 defend itself with the three super columns. As a background, this allows spectacular views on all levels to see the vineyards, Elciego, and the Sierra de Cantabria mountains.

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.
