Nestled in the north side of the city, the Gran Hotel Lakua is perfectly hooked up with the highways of Bilbao, Madrid, Pamplona and San Sebastian, as well as with the Vitoria-Gasteiz Airport and the downtown area. This is the only five-star hotel in the capital of Alava and the perfect starting point to discover the allures of the European Green Capital 2012.

A white building of pure and simple forms, perched on the modern neighborhood of Lakua, cherishes one of the best-kept secrets of Vitoria-Gasteiz. Behind those walls, travelers can find a harmonic space made up of subtle lines and pure volumes that match in a delicate balance.

In addition, three of these rooms and one apartment are fitted out for disabled guests, including all signs and information written in Braille.

Salads, meats and seafood, coupled with season products, make up the culinary menu at the Margoa Restaurant, a place that tops it all off with a great assortment of desserts. A specialized list of Basque traditional cuisine, a market-oriented cooking redesigned by Chef Fernando Etxebarri, also adds a hotel menu, a tasting menu and the Gran Gourmet Dish of the Day, let alone a magnificent array of rice plates. If you›re looking for something more casual, the Café Garnier has tapas and pick-me-ups, rations and combined dishes to choose from. The round-the-clock room service rounds out the gastronomic offering, not to mention the buffet-style breakfast with cooking show, and the Piano Bar, the right spot for the after-meal talk or a laidback break.
