Hotel Los Agustinos
Why it made the list
Located in the ancient La Rioja town of Haro, this imposing hotel dates all the way back to 1373, and has been a monastery, a military barracks, and even a medieval prison. In the stunning central cloister you can still find inscriptions made by the inmates carved into the centuries-old stone foundations.
