Cáceres
Minimalist contemporary design inside a medieval shell. All-white rooms, original art by Andy Warhol and Georg Baselitz on the walls, underfloor heating, and a near-monastic quiet. Sophisticated without being stuffy — Toño and José personally receive guests and the place runs on genuine warmth rather than formal distance.
Book a pre-dinner tour of the wine cellar — it's included with dinner reservations and takes about 20 minutes; don't skip it
Why It Matters
The third Michelin star arrived in 2023, but the wine cellar was already reason enough to make the trip. The circular bodega — designed by Carlos Martínez Albornoz and Wine Spectator Best Award of Excellence holder — contains 95 consecutive vintages of Château d'Yquem, including five from the 19th century. You can tour it before dinner. The hotel is also one of very few properties where the architects' work (Tuñón and Mansilla won the Mies van der Rohe Award) is genuinely worth coming to see.
Fourteen rooms inside a stone building in Cáceres' UNESCO World Heritage old town. Three Michelin stars in the kitchen. A circular wine cellar with 40,000 bottles. Atrio is owned and run by chef Toño Pérez and front-of-house maestro José Polo, who have spent over thirty years building one of Spain's most serious gastronomic destinations. The architecture — by prize-winning firm Tuñón and Mansilla — is a shock: an entirely modern white interior punched through an ancient stone façade, wrapped around a central courtyard flooded with natural light.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Double Superior Room
The entry-level room at La Casa, and still a serious room. Thirty square metres of all-white minimalism — painted wood-panel walls, king bed with crisp white bedding, big round bathtub with separate shower. Views face Calle de los Condes. Materials and art details carry the room rather than size.
King (2m x 2m) · 30 sqm
Junior Suite
Between 35 and 45 sqm, with views over either the gardens or the old town. More breathing room than the double — the white minimalism gets space to work properly here. Same king bed and bathtub/shower combination; same art and materials approach.
King (2m x 2m) · 40 sqm
Junior Suite Deluxe
45 to 60 sqm, facing either the garden or Plaza de San Mateo. The bathtub sits positioned to look out at the ivy-covered Torre de Sande in summer — a deliberate architectural detail. Steps up from the Junior Suite with more generous proportions.
King (2m x 2m) · 52 sqm
Paredes Saavedra Palace Suites
Eleven suites across three floors of the 15th-century Palacio Paredes Saavedra at Calle Ancha 5, 30 metres from the main hotel. Restored by architects Tuñón and Carlos Martínez-Albornoz; each suite is distinct with site-specific artworks by José Pedro Croft and Jorge Galindo. The most exclusive accommodation in the Atrio universe — larger, more palatial, and very quiet.
Superior Suite
The top category at La Casa. Between 60 and 100 sqm depending on configuration, available as 1 or 2 bedrooms (sleeping up to 3 or 5 guests). Spectacular views of Plaza de San Mateo. Art everywhere — on walls, on the worktable, beside the bed. A rocking chair that, per the hotel's own copy, 'rocks you before you even sit in it.'

How you'll actually spend your days.
Guests on certain packages (e.g. Total Experience) can visit the Atrio kitchen and see the team at work.

The hotel has an alberca (traditional Spanish open-air pool), available seasonally. Also a rooftop terrace with two plunge pools overlooking Plaza de San Mateo.
The hotel sits inside one of the best-preserved medieval walled cities in Europe. Founded 1st century BC, full of Roman arches, Moorish towers, and Gothic palaces. The hotel concierge can arrange guided tours. You can also just walk — everything is within a few hundred metres.
A guided tour of the circular wine cellar designed by Carlos Martínez Albornoz. 40,000 bottles, 4,000+ labels from 20 countries. The highlight is the Château d'Yquem alcove — 95 vintages arranged in a circle, including five from the 19th century (earliest: 1891). Standard pre-dinner tour takes about 20 minutes. Longer dedicated visits can be arranged.
