  • View text

    Building from 1690. A unique place. A space for art, culture and gastronomy. A quiet place.

    César Manrique included the Ico Palace in his book "Lanzarote, unpublished architecture", (1973), as a reference of the traditional architecture of the island.

    Palacio Ico is in the Villa de Teguise, one of the most charming villages on the island, due to its historical-artistic heritage, declared as "one of the most beautiful villages in Spain".

    Perfect location in the centre of the island to go out and discover it. 

    9 rooms, each with its own personality. 

    Its restaurant offers the best Lanzarote products with simplicity, freshness, creativity and commitment to the territory.

    INCLUDED IN THE MICHELIN GUIDE 2025-2024-2023 as a recommended restaurant.

    Awarded ONE SOL REPSOL 2025. 

    Guanche Mythology

    Legend has it that Princess Ico, illegitimate daughter of the aboriginal King Zonzamas, had to pass a life-or-death test to prove that royal blood ran through her veins so that her son Guadarfía was named king

    Unprecedented architecture

    The hotel is located in a large manor house from 1690 that preserves original architectural details of great value, such as the teawood floors, the 5-meter-high coffered ceilings, the wide stone walls or its wooden balconies, all carefully restored so that history will continue to shine for many centuries to come. The artist César Manrique included this property in his book "Lanzarote, unpublished architecture", published in 1973, a reference work of the traditional architecture of the island.

    In 2017, the Government of the Canary Islands granted it the category of Emblematic Hotel as it is located in a building listed as historical heritage, being the first Emblematic hotel in Lanzarote.

     

    The Canarian courtyard

    It is one of the favorite places of customers. An example of traditional Canarian architecture, this is the space that César Manrique collected in his book "Lanzarote, unpublished architecture", in which he catalogued the best examples of the original constructions of the island to serve as a guide for future generations. A corner 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.

     

    Art at the Palace

    A hotel related to art. In the restaurant room and in the rooms, paintings by Heidi Bucher, the artist Ildefonso Aguilar, and images of César Manrique taken by the Swiss photographer Linus G. Jauslin in the 70s are exhibited, among others. A large part of the pieces used in the Ico Palace come from artists and artisans from Lanzarote (ceramics, tableware, sculptures, paintings, photographs, lamps...). 

    Art fascinates its owners (Sonsoles López and Eduardo Riestra) and it already permeated these walls before their arrival. The visionary Swiss artist Heidi Bücher, who based her work on the historical and the architectural, skinning and skinning spaces that had a personal meaning for her, fell in love with this house, who was its previous owner. The artist has exhibited, among other places, at the MoMA, the Pompidou, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, or at the Venice Biennale. + in www.heidibucher.com

     

    Room design

    Wabi Sabi Inspiration

    That is why there are unique pieces in the rooms that over time embellish them more.

     Wabi Sabi, "is a Japanese  aesthetic term  that describes a type of aesthetic vision based on "the beauty of imperfection" and minimalism.

    Only nine rooms have been created (five suites and four doubles), each with its own personality, trying to preserve the original size of the spaces, some reaching up to 60 and 70 square meters, designed in a rational, minimalist way and with natural elements. Spacious bathrooms in microcement and volcanic pieces with the intention of transmitting freshness, stillness, a feeling of serene melancholy and spiritual longing to the whole.

     

    Read and listen to music

    The Hotel has more than 300 books related to Art and in different languages to accompany guests during their stay. Immerse yourself in a relaxing afternoon of reading and unwind. If you like music, you will enjoy our vinyl collection. They have tried to be eclectic in the selection, but they have not been able to resist the preferences of their owners.

    The inspiration

    What did the artist Heidi Bucher see in Princess Ico's Palace?

    It could not have been a matter of chance that Heidi turned this enclave into her home. The artist has exhibited, among other places, at the MoMA, the Pompidou, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, or at the Venice Biennale. + in www.heidibucher.com
