Our hotel is located in a large manor house from 1690 that preserves original architectural details of great value, such as the floors of tea, the coffered ceilings of 5 meters high, the wide stone walls or its wooden balconies, all carefully restored so that history continues to shine for many more centuries. The artist César Manrique included this property in his book “Lanzarote, arquitectura inédita”, published in 1973, a reference work on the traditional architecture of the island.
In 2017, the Government of the Canary Islands granted us the category of Emblematic Hotel for being located in a property listed as historical heritage.
It is one of the favorite places of our clients. Sample of traditional Canarian architecture, this is the space that César Manrique collected in his book “Lanzarote, unpublished architecture”, in which he cataloged the best examples of the original buildings of the island to serve as a guide for future generations. A place to enjoy the outdoors while sharing a glass of Malvasia wine and listening to the ringing of the bells of the church of Teguise surrounded by history.
Our hotel is full of art. Throughout our rooms hang works by different artists, such as the prestigious Canarian painter Ildefonso Aguilar or the photographer Linus G. Jauslin. Most of the pieces used in the Ico Palace come from artists and craftsmen of Lanzarote (ceramics, crockery, sculptures, paintings, photographs, lamps...). We are passionate about art and it was already permeating these walls before our arrival.
The visionary Swiss artist Heidi Bücher, who based her work on the historical and architectural, skinning and flaying spaces that for her had a personal meaning, fell in love with this mansion, who was its previous owner. The artist has exhibited, among other places, at MoMA, the Pompidou, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, or the Venice Biennale. + at www.heidibucher.com
