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
