Madrid's Belle Époque grande dame, opened in 1910, between the Prado and Retiro Park.

The Ritz opened in 1910 at the request of King Alfonso XIII and reopened after a long restoration under Mandarin Oriental. It sits on Plaza de la Lealtad, opposite the Prado and beside Retiro Park, in the middle of Madrid's art triangle. Its 153 rooms are freshly elegant, and the best look over the Prado or towards the park. A glass-roofed courtyard brings light into the centre, and there is a spa with a pool, a well-equipped gym and Michelin-starred dining.

Booked through me, your stay at Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid includes Mandarin Oriental Fan Club benefits.
