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."
