Palacio Urgoiti

Palacio Urgoiti

There’s more to Bilbao than heroic feats of modern architecture: though it’s home to the Gehry-designed Guggenheim (and the ripple of modern building that has followed in its wake), it’s also home to some classics, like this 17th-century palace — dismantled stone by stone three ...
Posada La Sacristia

Posada La Sacristia

Windsurfers already know about Tarifa, at Spain’s southernmost point, where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean; the sea conditions here make for some of the best windsurfing and kiteboarding in Europe. It’s probably a different audience, though, that makes up La Sacristia’s fo...
Pullman Barcelona Skipper

Pullman Barcelona Skipper

We’re obviously partial to independent little boutiques, but we freely admit that sometimes, big is beautiful. And so it is, in the case of the Hotel Pullman Barcelona Skipper. With some 241 rooms and suites, and existing as it does under the ownership of the French hospitality giant Accor, it’s ...
Room Mate Alicia

Room Mate Alicia

At last count, the Room Mate chain of budget boutique hotels comprises some ten hotels all across Spain, four in Madrid alone. All have their own personalities, but show a certain family resemblance, a certain breezy lightness in design, a whimsical and unpretentious approach. This one, Room Mate...
Room Mate Laura

Room Mate Laura

As a sequel, or sister, or something, to the original Mario, Room Mate Laura has some big shoes to fill. The idea is that each Room Mate hotel will have a distinct personality, as well as a certain family resemblance. This one, like its brother, is stylish, minimalist, somewhat whimsical — we&#82...
Room Mate Marina

Room Mate Marina

This member of the Room Mate family is named not just for a fictional character (Marina, loves sailing, her dog Gretel, and the music of Kruder and Dorfmeister) but for a literal marina as well. It’s located by the port of Valencia, near the old shipyards, and not far from the beach at Malv...
Room Mate Mario Hotel

Room Mate Mario Hotel

Any hotel worth staying at has a personality of its own, almost by definition — avoiding the bland and the soulless is, after all, the reason you’re here in the first place. Some one-off hotels, literally unique, can’t help but have a personality; meanwhile some chains develop somethi...
Room Mate Migueletes

Room Mate Migueletes

There’s not much more to say that we haven’t already said about Spain’s Room Mate hotels. It’s hard to go wrong with a low-cost, high-design concept, and the central conceit of inventing a character and personality for each hotel — well, either you love it, or you ignore i...
Sant Cugat H&R

Sant Cugat H&R

Sant Cugat, the town, is an upscale suburb a few miles north and west of Barcelona proper; here, in a curvaceous modern building, is where you’ll find the Sant Cugat Hotel & Restaurant. Located adjacent to the cathedral, overlooking a park in the heart of the town, it’s in truth m...
Selenza Madrid

Selenza Madrid

By now the idea that Barcelona is the fun one and Madrid is the serious one is simply a long-dead stereotype. But there is something to be said for the way that Madrid’s gems often lie hidden beneath a stately and sober exterior. The Selenza Hotel is a case in point: behind an elegant 19th-centur...
Silos Arte Y Relax

Silos Arte Y Relax

If you’re looking to get away from it all, you could do a lot worse. Tarifa is already the southernmost point in Europe, an ambitious stone’s throw from Africa via the Straits of Gibraltar. And tucked away in the picturesque old quarter of town is a seventeenth-century home converted into a two-s...
The Hotel Arts Barcelona

The Hotel Arts Barcelona

One hundred yards from the Mediterranean, Barcelona’s Hotel Arts is the tallest building in Spain, and possibly the most over-the-top hotel in Western Europe. This 44-floor skyscraper is striking enough from the outside, its inside-out steel superstructure gleaming in the sun, but the insid...
The Westin Palace Madrid

The Westin Palace Madrid

The Westin Palace has been around since 1912, and has for decades been one of the most elegant hotels in a city full of grand old hotels. Madrid is a courtly city, built up around a government that moved here as a gesture of Spanish unification; thus servicing the aristocracy was long the only ga...
Güell Park

Güell Park

Inspired by nature, Park Güell is a very beautiful garden complex / park designed by architect Antoni Gaudí
Tenerife

Tenerife

The last European paradise isles with lush forests, exotic fauna and flora, deserts, mountains, volcanos, incredibly beautiful coastlines and spectacular beaches.
Loro Parque

Loro Parque

Amazing park in northern Tenerife. You can see a large variety of animals in (almost) natural habitats. It is home to the largest artificial iceberg in the world, where penguins live like home.
