I agree with alot of the previous reviews .This is an amazing hotel and certainly a once in a lifetime visit . The architecture and beauty is wonderful and as you drive towards the hotel it suddenly appears over the hill and is spectacular . Upon arrival we were upgraded which was a lovely surprise , however we had booked... more

My husband and I were on a month long driving tour of Southern Spain, the Algarve, Lisboa, Douro Valley, Rioja, crossover through France and northern Italy to final week in Tuscany. Had no choice in the month – would not normally travel to these destinations in June (too hot!) Our 3 nights in Rioja were fortunately on Starwood points at... more

This hotel has to be seen to believed. Think a hotel version of the Guggenheim in Bilbao. Spectacular, dramatic architecture, although a bit out of place in a sleepy charming village in wine country. The rooms are large, comfortable and well appointed. The spa and leisure facilities are excellent, if overpriced. Food is very good, and this hotel is worth... more

I truly do not have anything negative to say about this hotel. From the moment we arrived at Marques de Riscal, we were attended to and every comfort was provided. The hotel itself is strikingly lovely. There are two sections, the main part where the restaurant, bar, reception and some rooms are located and a second part connected by an... more

It's one of the most dramatic venues you will visit. But there is something missing in the Marques de Riscal experience. On the plus side it's an astonishing structure with dramatic views and some fine restaurants. Even the standard rooms are spacious with B&O TVs and epic bathrooms. On the downside it's a difficult place to spend time. There are... more

You've seen the photos - there is nothing more i can add; this is obviously a magnificent building. MdeR has everything you would expect from a hotel of this calibre - smiling, helpful staff, spotless rooms with wonderful bathrooms, tasty food and amazing views. Do not, however, expect the romance of a vineyard - this is not a winery which... more

We had a wonderful night at this hotel. The hotel is stunning and our room was big, spacious and very comfortable. We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. We had lunch in the restaurant and it was very nice, the waiting staff were a little disinterested but that would be our only complaint. We loved it here,... more

Loved our room and the facility on whole. Staying here is truly once-in-a-lifetime. Ironically, we were served an oxidized bottle of wine in the bistro and some of the food left the kitchen without seasoning. Wine bar was fun with outstanding views etc. Tip: it pays to enroll in the Starwood guest program. more

The architecture of the hotel is amazing and is worth the visit to see the actual building. The vineyard is impressive and the tour around the estate including wine tasting was good value for money although an English speaking tour was not available during our 2 night stay - it would be worthwhile booking in advance if you want an... more
