Looks like Starwood Spain & Portugal is in the midst of a vast media-massaging conspiracy: this week has seen the Super World Travelers stop in at the Marques de Riscal and last night's party at the W New York Union Square.

But far be it from us to pass up this opportunity to pile on. We trooped to the W to see what else is news in Iberia--and of course drink Rioja and munch tapas. Check out the full party report and pics, after the jump.

We rolled into the W to the sound of techno house blasting through the house speakers--guess that's the W Sound part of the W "experience." After sidling up to the bar, we realized the only drink options were--surprise!--Marques de Riscal wines. With a glass of red in tow, we scanned the room.

Who the $%*$ are all these people, we wondered. There were plenty of guys in suits, and given the plus-90-degree weather, we figured they were Iberian. You'd have to be to pull off that look. Just then, we were ushered into the Grand Ballroom for a fado concert (above).

The hors d'oeuvres started coming, just in time, as the crowd funneled in.

By the time the marketing guy took the stage, we were all vino'd out and ducked out with our gift bag. Obrigado, Starwood!
