The Best Hotels Near La Lobita, by the Record
-
A 16th-century university converted into a hotel, with guest rooms occupying what were once classrooms, their original stone walls and timber beams still intact. The central courtyard, now capped in glass, shelters the bar and restaurant in warm, diffuse light. Below stairs, a thermal spa fed by a nearby spring sits under Romanesque frescoes in vaulted stone chambers, which is either very atmospheric or very haunted, depending on your mood.

Sleeping inside a clear bubble pod in a Soria forest is either your dream or your nightmare, and Noctis has built a whole hotel around that premise. The glamping resort offers treehouses, outdoor suites, and those pods alongside five rooms in a restored villa for guests who prefer a ceiling. Natural materials and neutral tones do the blending-in, while private pools, outdoor bathtubs, and terraces do the compensating. The on-site restaurant runs a farm-to-table menu that changes with the seasons.

-
A boutique hotel in the La Rioja hills where the family has been adding rooms, restaurants, and modern interiors to a 19th-century village inn for five generations. The lodging is polished and comfortable, but most guests come as much for the food as the beds: the building holds both a gastronomic restaurant and a more classic dining room, plus a tapas bar, which is a lot of eating options for one very old house.
-
A modernist hotel that rises from the Rioja vineyards like someone dropped a design museum among the grapevines. The interiors, conceived by the late Spanish fashion designer David Delfín, run to smooth concrete, blonde wood, and floor-to-ceiling glass framing the landscape. Guest rooms are minimal but comfortable, each with a private terrace. The wine is made on the premises, and Logroño's tapas bars are a short drive away when the in-house restaurant feels like too easy an answer.
