What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Its ultra - modern facilities are defined by light, space and designer detail.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Buenavista's quiet avenues surround the building, and Oviedo's historic old town is a short walk away.
The rooms
All-white rooms have adjustable color lighting, and floor-to-ceiling windows look out toward the Sierra del Aramo.
The spa and gym
A circular mosaic hot tub and the glass-walled gym look straight out across the city.
Restaurant
Restaurante Hemisferic
Backlit wine walls line the dining room, where the kitchen turns out Asturian specialties and Mediterranean classics.
At the table
An undulating white bar serves evening cocktails, and morning buffets lay out local cheeses beside floor-to-ceiling glass.
How it began
The structure rose on the site of Oviedo's historic Carlos Tartiere football stadium, which was demolished in 2003.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.

A place apart: the property is the destination.
