The Best Hotels Near L'Algadir del Delta, 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.

A former Carthusian monastery in the foothills of Montsant Natural Park, now a boutique wine country hotel with three Michelin Keys. The monks had excellent taste in real estate, and guests are the beneficiaries: rooms keep the beamed ceilings and stone walls while adding rain showers and espresso machines, with suites stepping up to freestanding tubs. The estate's own wine flows freely at the on-site restaurant, and the outdoor pool makes the most of the scenery.

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 spa is built into an old wine and olive-oil mill, which tells you most of what you need to know about this place. It's a boutique hotel in the Priorat wine country, southwest of Barcelona, where the windows frame rows of vines and medieval villages sit just over the ridge. Rooms run contemporary inside a property with serious old bones, and the pool handles the afternoons well. Wine tasting and a fine-dining table round out the stay.
