Plaza Hotel
A rooftop pool with balcony rooms over the city
About this hotel
The rooftop is the reason to pick this one: a swimming pool and sun terrace sit above the streets with mountain or city views, backed by a fitness centre for guests keeping a routine going. Family rooms come with their own balcony, air-conditioning and free toiletries, and a lift makes moving between floors easy for anyone travelling with luggage or young children. A lounge, concierge service and outdoor seating area add a bit of polish, and free off-site private parking covers travellers arriving by car.

Our take
This suits travellers who want a pool with a view rather than a full spa programme, and who value a rooftop terrace over ground-floor grounds. Couples and families with older children get the most from the balcony rooms and the mountain outlook. Guests wanting extensive wellness facilities beyond the pool should compare it against Naindo Park Hotel instead.
- Request a mountain-view balcony room at booking, since the outlook varies by room category.
- Head up to the rooftop pool in the early evening for cooler temperatures and better light over the Sierra de Velasco.
- Confirm the off-site parking location with the front desk if you are arriving by car.
Why we love it

Why guests love itPlaza Hotel is the choice I would make for families with older children who like a view: the swimming pool and sun terrace are on the roof, looking over La Rioja towards the mountains. Family rooms have balconies and air-conditioning, and there is a fitness centre and a concierge for help with plans. The score of 7.4 rests on only 16 reviews, so I would treat it as an early signal rather than a settled verdict.
