THE PLACE
Architecture that changes the landscape.
At the Marqués de Riscal City of Wine in Elciego, Frank Gehry’s hotel brings vineyards together with titanium and steel forms. Opened in 2006, it occupies two buildings linked by a raised walkway.
The interesting choice starts here: stay within the architecture or look towards it from the other wing? Gehry and Spa categories offer different perspectives.
