Hotel Meliá Cáceres is a four-star hotel occupying a restored 16th-century Renaissance palace on Plaza de San Juan, at the edge of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old City of Cáceres, Extremadura, Spain. The building's historic façade and interior courtyard have been carefully preserved and complemented by a contemporary interior design that positions the hotel as one of the most stylish options in the city. The plaza is a lively social gathering point flanked by the Church of San Juan de Caballeros, steps from the main hotel entrance.
The hotel's 86 rooms span Classic, Premium, and Suite categories. Rooms feature the Meliá brand's signature bedding, climate control, satellite TV, and strong WiFi connectivity. Premium rooms and Suites offer refined furnishings and, in some cases, views over the historic rooftops of the monumental zone. The on-site spa is a significant draw, offering treatment rooms, sauna, and relaxation areas. The fitness centre provides a well-equipped space for those maintaining exercise routines.
The hotel restaurant serves a blend of contemporary and traditional Extremaduran cuisine, drawing on local produce including Iberian pork, local cheeses, and seasonal vegetables. Breakfast is a full buffet. The bar, set within the palace's arcaded ground floor, is a refined space for aperitivos and evening drinks.
Meliá Cáceres caters to a mix of leisure and business travellers. The central Plaza de San Juan address provides easy pedestrian access to the Old City's monuments — the Torre de las Cigüeñas, the Casa de las Veletas, and the multiple noble palaces of the Ciudad Monumental — while the spa and fitness facilities attract guests seeking rest alongside cultural exploration. The concierge team can assist with regional excursions to Mérida, Trujillo, and Plasencia.
