Michelin Guide "After a major renovation, this has a much brighter social area and contemporary style bedrooms."
Frommer's "The elegant interior... recaptures the period atmosphere of Carlos IV, with its paneled walls, marble floors, and bouquets of fresh flowers... The staff is discreetly businesslike and helpful." Full review
Fodor's "None walks along that slippery border between the classic and the modern with as much ease and grace as the Villa Magna." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Easily one of the capital’s most lavish hotels, the Villa Magna oozes sophistication."
Time Out "Although it's a modern, rather nondescript building from the outside, the lavishly entitled Villa Magna, a Park Hyatt Hotel, more than lives up to its reputation - and tariffs - on the inside." Full review
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."

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

"Serious luxury has come to Madrid with this five-star hotel in a lavishly remodelled palace." Full review
Fodor's "Editor's Note:
This property is currently undergoing renovations." Full review
Lonely Planet "With a marvellous sense of light and space that you rarely find in Madrid's downtown hotels, the Gran Melia Palacio de Los Duques is a five-star belle." Full review
Michelin Guide "The comforts are first-rate, from the baths, beds, and bedding to the soundproofing and lightproofing...and no fewer than three restaurants deliver on the promise of Spain’s fine culinary reputation" Full review
