Atrio Restaurante Hotel

In October 2021, a former Mexican beauty queen and her Romanian-Dutch accomplice checked into Atrio, had a 14-course dinner, took the guided cellar tour, and walked out at 5 a.m. with 45 bottles worth $1.7 million wrapped in hotel towels, including an 1806 Château d'Yquem. The cellar they targeted sits inside a UNESCO World Heritage medieval city in Extremadura, three hours from Madrid, built into a 10th-century Almohad walled town and redesigned by architects Tuñón and Mansilla with a circular wooden cellar holding 40,000 bottles. The restaurant, run by Cáceres-born chef Toño Pérez and sommelier José Polo, holds three Michelin stars and serves a single tasting menu built almost entirely around Iberian pork from the region's free-range black-footed pigs. The hotel runs 14 suites with original Warhol and Baselitz on the walls, a rooftop pool, and 11 more suites in the adjacent 15th-century Casa Paredes Saavedra. The thieves were eventually caught in Croatia. The wine wasn't with them.
