The Old Town (Casco Antiguo)
Stay here if you want tapas, wine and history within a few steps of your door. Calle Laurel and the cathedral are both close by. However, expect some lively noise at weekends, especially on warm evenings.

It holds a Google review score of 4.1 out of 5. Reviewers regularly mention the comfy beds, helpful reception staff and lovely views from the higher floors. However, some guests report street noise at the front of the building. Get directions.

Gran Vía and the Ebro Riverside

Hotel Gran Vía is a 4-star hotel on Logroño’s main street, roughly five minutes from the Old Town. It is known for its central spot, renovated rooms and hearty breakfast.

AC Hotel La Rioja by Marriott is a modern 4-star hotel near the River Ebro. It is known for its sauna, Turkish bath and fitness centre.

However, a few guests find it a little far from the Old Town, at around fifteen minutes on foot. Get directions.
Book early for peak times
Logroño gets very busy at certain times of year. Easter, the September wine festivals and the summer months all bring big crowds. Camino walkers also fill many rooms in spring and autumn. Therefore, it is a good idea to book your accommodation well in advance if you plan to visit at these times. Otherwise, the best places sell out fast, and prices often rise. Book early, and you will have far more choice.
Whichever area you pick, you will be close to great food, lovely wine and warm Rioja hospitality. So choose the vibe that suits you, pack your appetite and enjoy your trip to Logroño.
