Case Studies

Located in the historical centre of Cáceres, a Unesco World Heritage site in Extremadura, south-western Spain, the Relais & Chateaux hotel and two Michelin-star restaurant Atrio may present a traditional stone exterior, but inside, a contemporary installation by architects Mansilla and Tuñón brings the 14-room hotel right up to date. An art collection that includes Warhol, a clean-lined Scandinavian aesthetic and a roof terrace bar are just some of the hotel’s draws, while Atrio’s avant-garde take on regional cuisine and capacious wine cellar make it truly unmissable.
