"Distinctive details that give the interior spaces a modern, arty vibe, such as the funky light fixtures, sleek leather couches, and elegant antiques in the airy lobby." Full review
Star Service "Also known simply as the Melia Madrid, this big glamorous Spanish workhorse overshadows the comparatively staid Husa Princesa with designer digs and trendy common areas." Full review

The large room count means that staffers are rarely able to accommodate special requests in advance.
Fodor's "In an unbeatable location, this ultramodern hotel retains a few reminders of the era when bullfighters would convene here before setting off to Las Ventas—a few bulls' heads hang in the lounge." Full review

Michelin Guide "This delightful, French-style mansion is located in the city's aristocratic and embassy district."
Frommer's "Set beside its own charming garden, this classic French-styled hotel is located inside a neoclassical villa built in 1894 for the duke of Santo Mauro... Accommodations are spacious throughout." Full review
Concierge "While the hotel is tucked away on a side street in Chamberi, one of the city's most elegant neighborhoods, it's within walking distance of Paseo de la Castellana and the Serrano shopping district."
Travel + Leisure "While Madrid's other hotels trumpet the names of celebrity guests, Santo Mauro zealously guards their privacy—a definite draw for movie stars, statesmen, and one Seattle software tycoon." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This hotel, once the Canadian then Philippine embassy, is set on a quiet, tree-lined street near Chamberí."
Star Service "This ducal palace dating from the late 19th century is a strong contender in the luxury market." Full review
Lonely Planet "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." Full review
Afar Magazine "Hides its secluded gardens, wrought iron balconies, and ornate sitting rooms behind carved stone walls. Those who cross the threshold are treated to a haven of contemporary luxury." Full review
goop "Spread out over three elegant buildings that used to serve as the home of the Duke of Santo Mauro, this recently renovated boutique hotel is a love letter to the decadence and splendor of old Madrid." Full review
Jetsetter "A grand 19th century duke’s palace turned hotel with an indoor pool in Madrid’s Chamberi neighborhood." Full review
