Hotel AC Santo Mauro

Madrid


Everything about this place oozes exclusivity and class, from the address – one of the elite patches of Madrid real estate – to the 19th-century mansion that’s the finest in a barrio of many. It’s a place of discreet elegance and warm service, and rooms are suitably lavish.

There's a predominantly modern aesthetic in some rooms and a more old-world look (with Persian carpets) in others; the Arabian-styled indoor pool isn’t bad either. David Beckham, Madonna and Richard Gere have been guests here.
