Mandarin Oriental Ritz

‍

A Ritz Experience
Plaza de la Lealtad, 5

King Alfonso XIII personally invested his own money to build this hotel in 1910 because he thought Madrid deserved a Ritz. A €100 million renovation finished in 2021 restored the original glass dome that César Ritz designed, which had been sealed shut since the Civil War damaged it 80 years earlier.

‍

153 rooms, five restaurants by three-Michelin-star chef Quique Dacosta, and a guest register that includes Hemingway, Grace Kelly, Ava Gardner, and Mata Hari, who stayed under a fake name.

Parador de Chinchón

‍

The Monk’s Retreat
Los Huertos, 1

A 17th-century Augustinian monastery 45 minutes from Madrid, converted into a Parador and kept exactly as quiet as the monks intended. Despite its distant location, it has everything you need, from two Castilian restaurants to gardens full of fruit trees and cypress, making you wonder why you ever bothered with the centre at all.
