By the Prado in Madrid’s Golden Triangle of Art, the Mandarin Oriental Ritz is a Belle Epoque grande dame, restored and reopened, with rooms and suites, a two-Michelin-starred restaurant and a spa with an indoor pool.
The Mandarin Oriental Ritz sits on Plaza de la Lealtad in Madrid’s Golden Triangle of Art, steps from the Prado and Retiro Park. Opened in 1910 at the wish of King Alfonso XIII and designed by Charles Mewes, architect of the Paris Ritz, it reopened after the largest restoration in its history, with the historic glass dome restored and interiors by Gilles and Boissier. Rooms and suites blend the period grandeur with modern comfort, several looking over the garden or the museums. Dining is led by Deessa, the two-Michelin-starred restaurant from chef Quique Dacosta, with the all-day Palm Court under a glass canopy, the garden restaurant El Jardin del Ritz and the Pictura cocktail bar. The spa has a heated indoor pool, treatment rooms and a 24-hour gym. It suits couples and culture-focused travellers who want a grand, central Madrid base within walking distance of the city’s great galleries.
