Hotel Ritz Madrid

Frommer's Review

The Ritz is a living legend among Madrid hotels, and its incomparable facade -- declared a national monument -- and interior high ceilings and graceful columns evoke the early-20th-century Belle Epoque era. One of Les Grands Hôtels Européens, the Ritz was built in 1908 by King Alfonso XIII, with the aid of César Ritz, in a time when spaciousness and luxury were standards. Therefore, the spacious and luxurious rooms -- all now tastefully modernized -- boast large closets, antique furnishings, hand-woven carpets, and bathrooms equipped with robes, dual basins, deluxe toiletries, and tub/shower combos. Old dress codes live on, and the hotel requests that male guests wear a jacket and tie after 11am in the public areas. Passersby may like to sample the justly famed -- if pricey -- brunch in the Goya restaurant or on the beautiful summer garden terrace.
