Hotel description
At first glance, it almost looks as if the Hotel Viura is a bit unsteady on its feet: A pile of carelessly stacked cube-shaped bungalows, which looks like it might topple over in either direction at any moment. It’s an intriguing sight. Each of these cubes houses one or two guest rooms with views over the surrounding area through a large window. And what a view it is: in contrast to the ultra-modern architecture of this 4 star hotel, you’ll find historic buildings all around. The view from the roof terrace is even better. The Hotel Viura is an excellent choice for wine lovers. Besides a good selection of Rioja wines, it also offers plenty of opportunity to sample the local wines and the lifestyle of a wine-growing region.
Vineyard hotel: Sample local wines and join in with the grape harvest
The Hotel Viura combines modern living and architecture with the traditions of the La Rioja wine-growing region. What a fantastic mix! A wine bar and an old wine cellar provide an excellent range of wines for you to choose from. In addition, the hotel will also happily organize wine tastings and winery tours for you, as well as giving you the opportunity to take part in the grape harvest.
Design hotel: Urban flair in a village setting
The clean lines and shapes of the interior design perfectly complement its exciting architecture. The mix of natural and innovative materials is especially interesting. The rooms are dressed with large-format art photography, leather-covered walls and stylish designer sofas. Even in the public areas, modern art, design and natural materials go hand in hand like in the stylish lobby with its long solid wood reception desk or in the restaurant which has walls lined with huge wine barrel lids.
4 star hotel: Top facilities in a stunning design
A nature-inspired high-end design with super comfortable beds, high-quality brand-name bed linen, stylish designer furniture and sinks made from oiled solid wood in the bathroom create a luxurious feel. The mini bar provides water (complimentary) and soft drinks as well as a couple of selected wines as a sample of what you can enjoy in the wine cellar. The highlight of the room options, which fall into three categories, are the loft-style suites with private terrace and even more luxurious bathrooms.
Food & drink: Local cuisine & excellent wines
In the elegant restaurant you can enjoy delicious Iberian specialties from the Basque Country, La Rioja and Galicia under wooden wine barrels and with views outside through a glass wall. The sommelier will recommend the perfect wine to accompany your meal from the hotel’s own wine cellar. The restaurant is open daily for lunch and dinner.
Leisure & sports: Basque lifestyle, wine & fitness
At the Viura it’s all about the lifestyle of the region. The hotel organizes for its guests to take part in the grape harvest, wine tastings and cellar tours. If you want to try out making Basque pintxos you can take part in a cookery class. On the neighboring pelota court, you can learn how to play this traditional Basque ball game. The hotel also has a modern gym.
Location: Small village in the Basque wine country
The Hotel Viura is situated just outside the small village of Villabuena de Álava, perfect for exploring the wine region of La Rioja. It’s around a 20-minute drive to Logroño. The well-known wineries of Ysios and Marqués de Riscal are about 10 minutes away.
