Following a meticulous multi-year restoration, the storied Hotel Ritz has been reborn as the Mandarin Oriental Ritz Madrid, setting a new benchmark for luxury hospitality in Spain’s capital.

This grand Belle Époque palace, which has welcomed dignitaries, celebrities, and royalty since 1910, now seamlessly marries heritage architecture with contemporary indulgence. The extensive restoration, completed by acclaimed Parisian design duo Gilles & Boissier, preserves the essence of the original while introducing refined modern touches reflective of Madrid’s vibrant spirit and rich cultural legacy.

Positioned in the heart of Madrid’s prestigious ‘Golden Triangle of Art,’ the Mandarin Oriental Ritz Madrid offers unrivaled access to the city’s top museums—including the world-renowned Prado—alongside proximity to financial and upscale shopping districts, making it an exceptional choice for both business and leisure travelers.

The property features 100 guest rooms and 53 suites, each thoughtfully curated to evoke timeless elegance with Spanish flair. Five distinct dining venues, all overseen by celebrated chef Quique Dacosta—holder of multiple Michelin stars—showcase the best of Spanish gastronomy. Guests can savor inventive cuisine at Quique Dacosta’s namesake restaurant, enjoy casual dining at Palm Court, unwind in The Ritz Garden, sip crafted cocktails in the Ritz Bar, or indulge in rare vintages at the exclusive Champagne Bar.

The hotel’s holistic wellness sanctuary offers an oasis of tranquility with an indoor pool, vitality pool, experiential showers, Turkish bath, private treatment suites, and a cutting-edge fitness center—providing guests with restorative escape from Madrid’s lively pace.

Since its grand reopening, the Mandarin Oriental Ritz Madrid has garnered international acclaim, earning accolades from Forbes Travel Guide and Condé Nast Traveller for its exceptional service, exquisite design, and culinary excellence. For discerning travelers seeking an authentic Madrid experience wrapped in historic grandeur, this landmark remains a destination without equal.
