Hotel Ritz

Top choice in Madrid


The grand old lady of Madrid, the Hotel Ritz is the height of exclusivity. One of the most lavish buildings in the city, it has classic style and impeccable service that is second to none. Unsurprisingly, it’s the favoured hotel of presidents, kings and celebrities. The public areas are palatial and awash with antiques, while rooms are extravagantly large, opulent and supremely comfortable.

In the Royal Suite, the walls are covered with raw silk and there’s a personal butler to wait upon you. We challenge you to find a more indulgent hotel experience anywhere in Spain.
