The Top 17 Hotels Near Alex Cool Club


  1. 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.



  2. 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.




  3. 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.



  4. 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.


  5. An 85-foot trunk of rolled stone climbs the full height of the atrium, which tells you immediately what kind of hotel this is. Across from Bilbao's Guggenheim, the Artist is a design hotel where the furniture is a literal museum of 20th-century pieces and the lobby bar channels 1930s New York with Art Deco details and monthly jazz. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key. Athletes, models, and architects fill the rooms, and they all dress accordingly.



  6. The building was once a bank headquarters, and you can still feel the mid-century weight of it in the lobby. This upscale hotel on Gran Via runs to spacious modern rooms, a full spa, and a rooftop terrace with vertical gardens and city views. Eneko Atxa oversees the restaurant, where updated Basque cooking anchors a menu backed by local wines. The kind of place that makes Gran Via feel like it was designed around the hotel, not the other way around.


  7. A green aluminum and glass facade cuts a minimalist silhouette on the Alameda de Mazarredo, roughly midway between the Guggenheim and the Museo de Bellas Artes. The Miró is a boutique hotel done in whites and creams against black marble and dark carpet, with full-length windows and rooms spare enough to feel almost sculptural. The lobby bar is quiet and good for a drink with a newspaper. No restaurant, but Bilbao makes that easy to forgive.




  8. A former convent turned luxury hotel, this NH Collection property keeps the Gothic cloister largely intact in the common spaces while the rooms go full contemporary, with dark hardwood floors and stone-clad rain showers. It sits just across the river, but four minutes over an old footbridge puts you at the foot of Burgos Cathedral. The restaurant leans into upscale Castilian cooking; the lobby bar handles the lighter work.
