Despite its zigzag windows and resemblance to a stack of large, brilliantly hued metal cake pans melted on top of one another, the Frank Gehry-designed Hotel Marqués de Riscal in Elciego, Spain is all elegant splendor on the inside. Grab one of the hotel’s complimentary bicycles and spin off to explore the surrounding wine country, then return to enjoy a vinotherapy treatment in the award-winning Vinothérapie SPA Caudalie Marqués de Riscal — all cool stone, rich wood and warm sunshine, with 15 beautiful treatment rooms, a pool, a steam room, a hydro-bath, a wine-barrel bath, a pediluvium foot-bathing area and a full fitness center. Best of all, the spa faces vineyards for tranquil, green views.

The top floor of the hotel contains a relaxing library lounge, spilling onto an outdoor terrace with views of medieval Elciego and distant mountains. For dining, book a table at the Michelin-starred Marqués de Riscal restaurant for haute cuisine, or slip into Bistro 1860 for traditional Spanish dishes tweaked with Chef Francis Paniego’s signature contemporary twist. Off the main lobby, sample area and vintage grapes in the Wine Bar & Shop, where you’ll also find the best offerings from the Marqués de Riscal wine estate.
