Michelin Guide
"After a major renovation, this has a much brighter social area and contemporary style bedrooms."
Frommer's

DK Eyewitness
"Easily one of the capital’s most lavish hotels, the Villa Magna oozes sophistication."
Time Out

Star Service
"Tucked away on a tree-lined boulevard near Calle Serrano shopping, north of Plaza Colon and the petite Hotel Orfila, this superb international-style operation has a sense of place." Full review
Gayot
"Located in the heart of the Spanish capital, Villa Magna is a mix of past and present, with its classic sophistication and modern amenities."
BlackBook
"Villa Magna and Tse-Yang restaurants keep the dining options fresh, but save room for booze, because the Magnum Bar draws local hotties who clink glasses and bat eyelids amid modern art."
