Five Madrid Hotels Worth a Visit, According to Condé Nast Traveler

Madrid is one of the favorite city breaks in Europe for the editors of Condé Nast Traveler. The city has several hotels with interesting stories, and here are some of the places they highlight.

The Palace hotel was renovated and returned to its grande dame status in 2025. A grande dame is a respected, important woman, and here it means a grand and dignified old building. Ruiz Larrea Arquitectura did the renovation, and Lázaro Rosa-Violán was in charge of the interiors. The Palace has 470 rooms and suites, which makes it the largest luxury hotel in Madrid. Portuguese chef Nuno Matos leads the restaurant La Cúpula, and the hotel's bar is called 27 Club.

Gran Hotel Inglés opened in 1886. It was the first hotel in Madrid to have a restaurant and electric lighting. The hotel has 48 rooms and suites. Guests can eat at the restaurant, which is called Lobbyto, and relax at the spa, called Le Max Club.

The Ritz Madrid was inaugurated by King Alfonso XIII in 1910. After remodeling, it reopened in 2021 as a Mandarin Oriental hotel. Rafael de La-Hoz and Gilles & Boissier were involved in the design of the reopening. The hotel's restaurant, Deessa, is run by chef Quique Dacosta and has two Michelin stars. Michelin stars are awards given to restaurants for their high-quality cooking.

The Evok Collection's Madrid hotel is located on Gran Vía, one of the city's main streets. It was designed by Philippe Starck, and the building that houses it was finished in 1922. The hotel has 57 rooms and suites, and chef Adam Bentalha leads its restaurant.
