The Ciudad de Medina Hotel is acquired by the Losada family in 2003.

Previously known as Las Merindades Hotel, it had been a family-run business, but in need of a new dimension. The Losada family designates Ms. Sonia Lumbreras to instil style through investment and much hard work. The establishment is prepared to face up to the demands of today’s clients, with well-equipped rooms and infrastructure, making the Hotel a 3* establishment, a revelation in the region.

The great effort made in the commercialization and diffusion of the business and its region begins to show and the Ciudad de Medina Hotel is to be currently found in a privileged location: on all the most prestigious national and international tourist circuits.

At the beginning of 2005, it is decided that the management and exploitation of the property be shared with the Basalo family. In this way, Mr. Eduardo Losada and Mr. Victor Basalo and his wife, begin a joint venture which, supported by the experience of the former and the courage and good working practice of the latter two, to further re-launch the Ciudad de Medina Hotel and they set it up to be the best establishment in the area, having the largest room capacity and the greatest number of direct services for clients, its particular philosophy does not stop at the treatment received at the Hotel facilities, but extends to the desire for service, organizing all types of activities for the town, with total and absolute respect for the beautiful surroundings in which it lies.

Las Merindades Restaurant at the Ciudad de Medina Hotel has one of the best Chefs in the north of Spain, Mrs. Ainara Molero Reza. A vastly experienced chef, taking his experience from the most exquisite “kitchens” the Basque Country has to offer, as well as in the south of France and the Lausanne International School of Cuisine (Switzerland), where he attended professional studies over a long period of time.

All the above contributes to this project being a personal and professional success, for all those who have formed part of it and that wish to share it with you, clients and friends, who, like us, desire to find a Hotel which is more than just a room.
