The Best Hotels Near Nadiu, by the Record
-
The fanciful spires and parapets of this late-19th-century Catalan palace look less like a hotel than a fever dream of a building, which is part of the point. Inside, the original ornate rooms have kept their opulence while a newer wing adds ten suites in clean, unadorned lines with local timber. A spa and hydrotherapy center rounds things out. The old carriage house holds a Michelin-starred restaurant, and a culinary school for guests reluctant to go home hungry.

A semi-ruined 15th-century castle in the Teruel countryside, restored by a couple who walked away from Madrid publishing life and never looked back, this remote rural hotel holds a Michelin Key. Rose gardens, fireplaces, olive trees, and a grand piano set a frankly unashamed romantic tone. Rooms have exposed brick and reading nooks; suites add wood-burning stoves and deep baths. The nearest other hotel is a long drive away, which is rather the point.

Wooden cubes cantilevered over a limestone bluff in rural Aragón, each with a glass wall and a private terrace staring into the middle of nowhere. Consolación is a boutique hotel built around the shell of an old hermitage, and the contrast between ancient stone and sleek modern fittings, sunken slate baths included, is very much the point. The restaurant runs an open kitchen you can wander past at odd hours. Getting here requires a car and a commitment.

The Matarraña region gets compared to Tuscany often enough that you stop rolling your eyes and just accept it. Mas de la Costa is a luxury boutique hotel built from an old stone farmhouse, surrounded by olive and almond groves with the Els Ports de Beceite peaks beyond. Suites have fireplaces and timbered ceilings; bathrooms are tiled by hand in Granada. The honesty bar sits inside the wine cellar, which is either very trusting or very clever.
