Palacio Tondón: the new Autograph Collection hotel in Briñas
In the idyllic town of Briñas, bathed by the Ebro River, the Hotel Palacio Tondón has opened its doors, a proud Autograph Collection Hotel, one of the premium brands of the Marriott International hotel chain. Each accommodation option in this collection of unique establishments has a distinctive vision and soul, standing out for their beauty, heart, and meticulous design representing their history. Bringing out emotional satisfaction with every detail, the Autograph Collection is always committed to providing boutique-style care, carefully mapping out the customer experience at each property by tapping into the passion and skill of great experts. The goal is for it not to be necessary to leave the hotel to get an idea of the time and place. That is why accommodation options that are intimately connected to their surroundings are carefully selected – establishments which, in turn, become part of local life. No two Autograph Collection hotels are alike and all of them leave their mark in a unique way and with an unparalleled story to tell.
In the case of Palacio Tondón, the buildings in which the establishment is located are from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and from 2018. This is an architectural complex surrounded by vineyards and mountains in which tradition and history come together with sustainability. The combination of stone and wood –tradition and innovation– makes this the ideal accommodation option for those who show an interest in wine, culture, and gastronomy, or even for those who just want to experience something exceptional. The business’s 33 rooms and junior suites are a combination of style, functionality, comfort, and elegance.
Its culinary offerings include an exclusive winery, a wine bar, a fabulous terrace overlooking the river, and its Gran Reserva restaurant, which stands out for its traditional cuisine based on the use of local ingredients. Some of the most popular dishes are: beef jerky from the Esla Valleys with river bee pollen and toasties; homemade honey-mustard rib croquettes; semi-cured trout carpaccio from the Ebro River dressed with dried fruit vinaigrette; grilled sea bass atop wild mushroom stew, butter, hazelnut, and capers; suckling lamb cooked at a low temperature with roasted pepper toffee; and rhubarb tartlet with hazelnut crumble, apple infused with anise, hibiscus gel, and violet ice cream.
This gastronomic plethora invites diners to enjoy their time together after eating on the hotel’s large terrace or to stroll through the narrow streets of Briñas, which are dotted with stately homes and part of the route of the Way of Saint James. It is no surprise that the Autograph Collection has chosen to disembark on this shore of the Ebro River to offer all its savoir-faire to the guests of this magnificent hotel.
