We had a wonderful stay at Palacio de los Ángeles in Haro, and the hotel is in the perfect location for exploring Rioja. Valet parking made having a rental car incredibly easy, which was especially convenient for exploring the surrounding wine region. From the moment we arrived, the genuine hospitality of the staff stood out. Marc was a true ambassador for the hotel. Not only did he help with our luggage, but he took the time to check in with us whenever we passed through the hotel, showing a genuine interest in making sure we were enjoying our stay. Julie checked us in and provided all the information we needed to make the most of our time in Haro. She even shared some of the history of the building and gave us great recommendations to help us get our Rioja journey off to a wonderful start. The hotel also helped us with dinner reservations throughout our stay, and we never had a bad meal. The food at the hotel was excellent. Daily breakfast was superb, and the tapas lunch options were outstanding. I highly recommend the roasted eggplant. The wine list featured some of the best wines from the region at very reasonable price points. While the food was wonderful, the table service from Nazaret and Mary made the experience even better. Both took the time to make sure we had everything we needed and were genuinely kind, attentive, and clearly proud of providing exceptional service. The gym is well equipped and thoughtfully includes cold towels and refreshments. The pool is on the smaller side, but that is understandable given the hotel’s location in the middle of town. There is also a public pool a few blocks away that is more suitable for families with children. Our room was perfect, and housekeeping did an excellent job keeping everything refreshed and the minibar fully stocked. The wonderful water pressure, towel warmer, professional hairdryer, and well-appointed vanity kit were all thoughtful touches that made the room feel especially comfortable. The spa is a truly tranquil space, and having a private hot tub as part of the treatment experience was a wonderful touch. I enjoyed a 75-minute massage with Maria, who was top-notch and incredibly pleasant throughout the session. She made sure I knew how to get the most out of the experience before I arrived, allowing me to simply relax and enjoy it. If you are looking for a world-class hotel in Rioja where exceptional accommodations are matched by genuinely warm and caring people, you cannot go wrong with Palacio de los Ángeles. We would happily return.
