Michelin Guide "The Tryp Ambassador has a stately atmosphere with an attractive patio typical of this exclusive district of the city."
Frommer's "The Ambassador doesn't feel like part of a hotel chain. It's far too individual and still largely resembles the elegant baronial palace it was." Full review
Time Out "Located in a former palace, the Ambassador manages to retain a vaguely baronial air despite being part of a chain." Full review
Star Service "This smart midrange hotel stands well above the Tryp Cibeles, occupying the renovated mid-19th-century palace of the Dukes of Granada." Full review

The 21 well-priced junior suites (twice the size of standard accommodations) are worth requesting for their superior decor, outdoor terraces, and quality finishes.
Condé Nast Traveler "Baroque flourishes scattered amid modern contraptions like bluetooth speakers and climate control touchpads. Glass-walled bathrooms, which can be shielded by curtains, are another striking feature." Full review
Wallpaper "Chicken wings roasted with fenugreek, the ever reliable suckling pig, cod tripe braised with chickpeas, and slabs of top sirloin that have been marinated for three months in a vinaigrette of meat jus." Full review

Travel + Leisure "Blending the work of 19 world-renowned designers like Norman Foster and Ron Arad, this Salamanca hotel has 12 floors, each with a starkly different style." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The 12 unique floors at the Puerta América were dreamt up by some of the world’s top architects and designers."
Condé Nast Traveler99.6
"Any hotel designed by a posse of world-famous architects and interior designers will be either brilliant or cringingly gimmicky." Full review
Time Out "The Puerta América will not be to all tastes, least of all, probably, those of the business travellers attracted by its proximity to the airport, but is a wonderland for design buffs." Full review
Star Service "This rainbow-colored building shines out from the blocks of cement apartment buildings that surround it, making a solid impression before guests even get to the front door." Full review

To really experience the hotel, try more than one floor during your stay, but be sure to ask for rooms in the front of the building.
Lonely Planet Top Choice
"An extravagant pastiche of styles, from zany montages of 1980s chic to bright-red bathrooms that feel like a movie star’s dressing room... it's an extraordinary, astonishing place." Full review
