Michelin Guide "Superb guestrooms furnished in classic-style."
Rough Guide "A colossal, sumptuous hotel with every imaginable facility, a spectacular, glass-covered central patio, and luxurious rooms – plus none of the snootiness of the Ritz across the road."
Frommer's "One of the largest, most ornate Victorian-style hotels in the city, with politicians, artists, and celebrities among its distinguished clientele." Full review
Concierge "Art lovers will find this the perfect base, with the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum and the Prado across the street and the Reina Sofía nearby."

Ask for a room at the front facing the Neptuno fountainthe higher the better, as the top floors have great views of Madrid's ornate central post office.
Lonely Planet "Its name may not have the world-famous cachet of the Ritz, but it’s not called the Palace for nothing and is extravagant in all the right places." Full review

"The 467-room Westin Palace is one of the top hotels in Madrid, and is housed in a gorgeous historic building that was commissioned by the king in 1912." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The sheen has never really worn off, thanks to its location just off the Paseo del Prado and to its grandeur, apparent in the marble-floored lobby." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Overlooking the Neptune Fountain and its quiet plaza, the Palace combines classic opulence with cutting-edge facilities."
Star Service "This perennial favorite is the perfect fit for travelers who drive Range Rovers, as opposed to those over at the Ritz who tend to get chauffeured around." Full review

Many choose to sample the cross-cultural cuisine offered in the Asian Gallery restaurant hidden in back.

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."

"Madrid’s Hotel VillaMagna is a luxury 150-room escape in the city’s posh Salamanca enclave, aneighborhood of high-end boutiques, art galleries, and residences." Full review
