The Best Hotels Near Quema, by the Record
-
Prefabricated pods hunkered against the relentless wind of the Bardenas desert, this hotel in Navarre makes no effort to be cozy or rustic, and is better for it. Rooms are spare, modern, and built around the windows, which come with their own mini-mattresses so you can spend serious time staring at wheat fields and wind-carved rock. A restaurant leans on local vegetables, and the Bardenas Reales National Park is on the doorstep.

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.
