Hotel César Lanzarote
Open studio opulence. Whitewashed walls, wooden ceiling beams, volcanic stonework, and original finca features all intact. Rooms lean into blues, greens, and natural textures. Some have freestanding wooden tubs. The pool is a curvaceous, heated outdoor showstopper edged in black sand, palms and cacti.
Book the private pergola dinner for two with 24 hours notice — seats up to 8 for groups, or a romantic table for two downstairs from the main dining room
Why It Matters
It's the former family residence of César Manrique — Lanzarote's most celebrated artist-architect — and the building's historic bones are untouched. The property is also one of only 20 rooms, so it never feels crowded. Listed by Michelin Guide, Mr & Mrs Smith, Tablet Hotels, and Preferred Hotels & Resorts LVX.
This is the former family home of artist César Manrique, the visionary who essentially shaped Lanzarote's visual identity — and it shows in every corner. Twenty rooms spread across a beautifully restored finca in La Asomada, set above vineyards with unobstructed views to the sea and a volcano on the other side. It's adults-only (16+), quietly positioned between the lunar landscapes of Los Volcanes Natural Park and the coast, and genuinely committed to doing nothing at pace.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
Double Room
Entry-level rooms on the first floor of the finca. Whitewashed walls, wooden floors, and the original rustic character of the building. Individually furnished with carefully selected details. Views of the natural surroundings.
Double Room with Volcano View
Located on the first floor of the finca with spectacular views of the volcano. Intimate and cozy — designed for guests who want to disconnect without sacrificing quality.
Junior Suite with Terrace and Sea View
More spacious than the Superior rooms, with unique designs and spectacular natural light. Private terrace with sea views. Maximum comfort and décor that reflects the island's character.
Master Suite
The jewel of the property. Corner position with a private roof terrace that Mr & Mrs Smith describe as 'one of the biggest we've seen.' Sea views, diaphanous layout, and the most outdoor space of any room in the house. Starting from €380/night.
Suite with Terrace and Volcano View
Ground floor suite with a private entrance and terrace overlooking the volcanoes. Spacious and unique in style, with a strong connection to the raw landscape outside. An incomparable luxury experience.
Superior Room
On the first floor and mezzanine level, these rooms deliver views that genuinely impress. Polished simplicity: whitewashed walls, wooden floors, shades of green, statement stripes. A pleasing number come with a freestanding wooden tub.
Superior Room with Terrace
Ground floor rooms with a private terrace. Slightly smaller than the suites but they punch above their weight on outdoor space. Exclusive and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for an intimate stay.
Superior Room with Terrace and Sea View
The Mr & Mrs Smith editors called these their favourites. Ground floor, overlooking the pool, with generous outdoor terrace space and sea views stretching to the coast. The design nods to sculptural Manrique motifs.
