Spain
Spain combines year-round sunshine with a rich architectural heritage that translates into remarkable hotels. Barcelona's Eixample district features modernist buildings converted into design hotels, while Madrid offers grand boulevard properties and intimate tapas-quarter boutiques. The Balearic Islands — Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca — deliver everything from clifftop fincas to beachfront luxury resorts. Andalusia's converted cortijos and riad-inspired hotels in Granada, Seville, and Córdoba bring Moorish elegance to life. Spain's network of Paradors turns historic castles, monasteries, and palaces into unique accommodations. The Basque Country adds culinary sophistication with hotels near Michelin-starred restaurants in San Sebastián.
