AC Ciudad de Tudela

A converted 18th-century ancestral house in the shadow of Tudela's Gothic cathedral, this boutique hotel threads contemporary comfort through old stone without making a fuss about it. The 41 rooms run to oranges and lemony creams rather than Madrid-style flash, and the all-glass sinks feel like a wink. A courtyard garden and a faint blue glow in the lobby give the sitting-room atmosphere a quiet urban edge.
