If you haven’t had the chance to get away yet, you still have time. In this post, we’ve compiled a selection of some of the best hotels in Spain, offering a wide range of options not only for leisure and culture but also for gastronomic experiences in their surroundings.
ROSEWOOD VILLA MAGNA
This hotel is located right on Paseo de la Castellana, in one of the most prestigious areas of the capital. Rosewood Villa Magna offers a multitude of options for its guests so they can enjoy all kinds of experiences without leaving the hotel.
Among them, the standout is the summer terrace “Aquí me quedo,” with its fusion of Mexican and Mediterranean concepts, which will transport you to the Riviera Maya without leaving Madrid. It also features the space “Tarde.O” where guests can enjoy a wide variety of cocktails along with the best snacks, or “Flor y Nata,” with a pastry proposal by Chef Emanuel Alvés.
We must not forget their two restaurants that will not leave you indifferent. On one hand, “Las Brasas de Castellana,” with spacious gardens and views of the open kitchen, perfect for relaxing and enjoying traditional cuisine. And on the other hand, the restaurant “Amós” by the three Michelin-starred chef Jesús Sánchez, who also owns the restaurant “Cenador de Amós” in Cantabria, where he pays homage to the product, tradition, and flavor.
GRAN HOTEL BRILLANTE
Located in the town of San Esteban de Pravia, in Asturias, in front of the Castle of San Martín. It is in a unique enclave, surrounded by sea and mountains, with a wide range of water sports such as surfing, canoeing, rowing, or paddleboarding.
At Gran Hotel Brillante, guests can enjoy a à la carte gastronomic experience or opt for their surprising tasting menu, featuring dishes inspired by local cuisine.
If what you’re looking for is to disconnect and be captivated by the rural surroundings, our recommendation is Hotel Quinta San Francisco de Castrojeriz, offering a wide range of natural, gastronomic, and cultural experiences in Castilla. The hotel occupies the former Convent of San Francisco, whose ruins are part of the property.
The hotel has its own orchard where Josefa, the hotel’s chef, is in charge of harvesting all kinds of vegetables and fruits that will later be prepared in the restaurant “La Bodega.”
VALDEPALACIOS
Just an hour and a half from Madrid, in Toledo, you’ll find this idyllic hotel with views of the Sierra de Gredos and the Montes de Toledo. Here, you can enjoy long walks, bike rides, or horseback riding routes, as well as relax with a boat ride on its reservoir.
The Valdepalacios complex also offers a gastronomic experience at its restaurant “Tierra,” which is based on tradition, offering the finest seasonal products.
LA RESERVA DE SOTOGRANDE
La Reserva is comprised of Spain’s first and only private beach, making it the perfect place for both adults and children. Additionally, it features a country club and breathtaking landscapes with various sports and leisure activities.

PALACIO ARRILUCE HOTEL
While this hotel is not yet open, it won’t be long before it opens its doors and begins welcoming guests from around the world. Palacio Arriluce Hotel has been renovated from a 20th-century palace located in Getxo (Bilbao).
With an imposing presence facing the Cantabrian Sea, this accommodation will have 49 luxurious rooms, a culture focused on customer care to provide an exclusive, unique, and highly personalized experience.
