This contemporary 33-room hotel created by architect-owners Joseba and Xabier Aramburu features an avant-garde design of superimposed concrete cubes clumped in fanciful disarray. Beautifully decorated lodgings include large French windows that flood the space with natural light. Suites also have spacious living areas with oak desks and private furnished terraces with views of the village of Villabuena de Álava and the mountains of Cantabria. The hotel’s superb restaurant serves Riojan and Basque cuisine (lunch is available only on weekends). Other amenities include an atmospheric wine bar (offering an all-day dining menu), a small spa, complimentary bicycles and access to a fitness center and the adjacent swimming pool. Wine tastings and hot air balloon rides can be arranged.
