The Best Hotels Near El Doncel, by the Record


  1. From a distance, the circular stone walls read more like a bullring than a hotel, and the mix-up is forgivable. The 18th-century textile factory outside Madrid is now a wellness-focused luxury hotel, its two concentric rings arranged around a courtyard, with high-ceilinged rooms showing original beams and a glass-domed restaurant lit by lanterns at night. The stone spa and thermal baths do most of the heavy lifting for guests who came specifically to do nothing.



  2. 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.
