The Top 11 Hotels Near ARREA!

Frank Gehry designed this hotel as a winery headquarters that became too striking to keep private, and the titanium ribbons draped over the building still stop traffic in the middle of Rioja wine country. Rooms in the main structure follow its swooping contours, with outward-canting windows framed by steel. A Caudalie vinotherapy spa, a wine bar, and organized tastings round out a stay. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.

-
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.

-
A baroque palace in the heart of La Rioja wine country, restored into a boutique hotel of sleek contemporary rooms and apartment-style residences. The team behind a celebrated Riojan restaurant runs the kitchen and has assembled what may be the largest collection of Rioja D.O.Ca. wines anywhere, so the wine bar is the obvious first stop. A small spa and gym round things out for guests who, at some point, need to stop drinking.
-
A 17th-century Basque palace turned boutique hotel, about twenty-five minutes south of San Sebastián, where the original stonework and darkened ceiling beams make every room feel faintly like a cathedral someone has very tastefully moved a king bed into. The surrounding hills and farmhouses do the decorating outside. Breakfast is included, and the in-house restaurant, Bailara, handles dinner with enough seriousness that you might not make it into the city at all.
-
A modernist hotel on the edge of Pamplona's old city, Eurostars Pamplona makes no apologies for its clean lines and contemporary rooms, where king beds are standard and the hardwood floors are about as far as the decor gestures toward rural Navarre. The lounges are genuinely quiet, with countryside views, and the pool and spa invite the kind of torpor that makes you forget the Running of the Bulls is a thing. Rates start around 120 EUR a night.
-
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.
