Since its unveiling in 2006 this masterpiece created by Frank Gehry to house the Hotel Marqués de Riscal has become a highly sought after contemporary, luxury retreat. Design, art, gastronomy, wine and the lush landscape all combine to create a memorable sojourn at The City of Wine.

The main restaurant is one of Spain's leading centers for fine gastronomy, combining traditional Rioja cuisine with modern influences by the well-known Echaurren Restaurant (1 Michelin star). Furthermore, there is a wine bar in a more informal setting, a rooftop bar and lounge with panoramic views and open fireplace, a wine tasting corner, cooking school, and an ancient wine cellar, which was converted to a banqueting space.
The Caudalie Vinotherapie Spa is the backbone of the leisure facilities, offering an indoor swimming pool, hammam, fitness, and a wide variety of massages and treatments featuring "wine therapy." All products are made using the best that grapes have to offer, designed exclusively for Caudalie Vinotherapie.
Guests will also have access to the Marques de Riscal vineyards, the Wine Museum and Shop, and the state-of-the-art process and elaboration center.
Additional leisure activities in the area include two golf courses within 35 kilometers, tours of the surrounding nature and hills by foot, bike, or horse, and "Ruta de Vino," an established tour which explores the Rioja wine region by car.
