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."

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.

OysterLuxury
"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

Michelin Guide "This centrally located hotel has modern facilities. It offers fully equipped guestrooms, some of which have their own terrace."
Frommer's "Formerly known as Hotel Bauzá, this very latest addition (reopened in 2008) to the noted Vincci chain has retained the original's chic minimalist decor and aura of low-key comfort." Full review
Travel + Leisure "All 170 rooms are modern, with architectural lighting; Nos. 902, 903, and 904 have teakwood terraces overlooking downtown Madrid." Full review
DK Eyewitness "One of the only true design hotels in Madrid with an über-trendy layout and equally triumphant à la carte restaurant, which overlooks the busy Calle Goya – a favourite with shoppers."
