The ten wood-clad cubes perch boldly on a mountain ledge, surveying the primitive landscape in Spain’s undiscovered Northeast. In Matarraña, a province of Aragón, two architects have created their idiosyncratic twelve-room hotel that consistently follows the principle of “less is more.” Three solid walls and one window—but that one comprises the entire fourth wall, with a breathtaking view of the mountains. In the rooms you will find one armchair, one bed, one reading lamp—but everything is hand-selected and top-quality. The nearby 14th-century church provides the inspiration and the name, “Consolación.”
