Hotel Eugenia de Montijo Autograph Collection

In the heart of Toledo is the Hotel Eugenia de Montijo Autograph Collection, which is part of the network of Hospederías de Castilla La-Mancha and which pays tribute to this historical figure. The hotel is designed like the classic hotels of the early 20th century, with a stained glass dome in the main hall and marble mosaic floors. The hotel also has remnants of other moments in the city’s history, such as the walls of Visigothic buildings and remnants of the network of sanitary facilities built in the Spa during Roman times.
And speaking of the Spa… there you can relax with a wide choice of health and beauty treatments by Natura Bissé. Your gastro offer? What used to be the Torreón del Palacio is now the Federico Restaurant – named after the Empress’s designer – where you can taste local dishes based on the quality of the product.
NH Collection Milano CityLife
Do you want to make a trip to Europe? Right in the center of Milan, the cradle of artistic, cultural and social innovations, and specifically in the heart of the modern CityLife district, NH Collection Milano CityLife, the brand’s new four-star hotel, with an emblematic mix of new and traditional. Built on the structure of Chiesa Cristo Re (Church of Christ the King), the imposing building was created with the intention of enhancing and preserving the artistic heritage of this church built in 1934 and abandoned in 1990
The hotel stands out for its special color, an optical white, imposing and solid, and for its 13-storey adjacent tower, as well as its Latin cross plan with three naves; among others the original wooden doors, the semicircular arches or the arches of the side aisles. However, the real paradise is on the top floor, where the big star is the exclusive roof terrace with a swimming pool and cocktail bar The District. The latter is the perfect place to enjoy delicious creations and signature cocktails.
Castilla Thermal Monastery of Valbuena
The harvest season is ideal for escaping to a charming destination surrounded by vineyards preparing to harvest the grapes. Close to the Rueda and Ribera del Duero denominations of origin, the fields of Valladolid are stained with the most melancholic browns and invite to a wellness holiday that adds wine tourism experiences for visiting wine lovers. Those passionate about the world of wine will find a special destination in the Ribera del Duero.
In this area there is Castilla Thermal Monastery of Valbuena. Located in San Bernardo, Valladolid, the hotel is surrounded by a thousand-year-old vineyard from which the Converso wine originated. The hotel is located in an old Cistercian monastery from the 12th century (the best preserved in Europe) a few meters from the banks of the River Duero, meaning that the vineyards in the area are the real protagonists of an area full of wineries to visit and discover the secrets of this designation of origin.
