A feat of avant-garde architectural design, Hotel Viura makes for a quirky and stylish stay in the heart of La Rioja. Composed of a series of precarious-looking superimposed cubes, the property is filled with bold design features from polished concrete floors to angled walls, driftwood sculptures and original artwork.
Each of the 33 rooms has been individually designed with edgy, contemporary decor featuring large-format photographs, exposed concrete, and designer furniture alongside all the elements needed for a comfortable stay including air conditioning and Wi-Fi.
On the top floor, you’ll find a small rooftop terrace and gym. Downstairs, the large restaurant, decorated with upcycled wine barrels, offers both an à la carte and wine-paring menu each evening, while the hotel’s piano bar serves lighter fare for lunch.
OUR OPINION:
A Cubist oasis within a historic Riojan village, we love the bold design and attention to detail at the Hotel Viura. It feels like you are staying in an art gallery with the added bonus of excellent food and wine.
