An urban escape designed to inspire

Get to know the city’s cultural and haute cuisine scene

Royal Palace of Madrid

In Madrid, luxury is found in the details, which are best enjoyed at your own pace. The perfectly-plated morel risotto, the coveted fashion brands that line Serrano Street, the meticulously manicured Royal Botanical Gardens, and the stylish hotels located steps from the world’s most renowned attractions. See it for yourself with the help of your Virtuoso travel advisor and enjoy insider connections, plus the exclusive perks you’ve come to expect.
 

Where to stay

Four Seasons Hotel Madrid
Feel the vibrant energy of this newly opened hotel, featuring rooftop dining by celebrity chef Dani García, an expansive four-level spa, and contemporary Spanish art throughout the property. Stay within walking distance of three of the world’s best museums – your travel advisor can even arrange a private tour.

 
Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid
With its belle époque rooms and suites, Michelin-starred cuisine, and a chandelier- and marble-clad indoor pool, it’s no wonder guests of this newly renovated hotel have included royalty and dignitaries from around the globe. Make time for an evening in chef Quique Dacosta’s restaurant Deessa, which offers two extensive degustation menus.

 
The Westin Palace
The UNESCO-designated Westin Palace, originally commissioned by King Alfonso XIII, blends history and modern amenities with everything from stained-glass detailing to plush Heavenly® beds. Located on Madrid’s Art Walk, you’ll stay just steps from museums, the Royal Palace, and the Opera House.

Expert Tip

Madrid has more tapas bars than any other city in Spain. Try the spicy patatas bravas (fried potato wedges) at Bar Manero or grilled octopus with pico de gallo at Barracuda MX, both located near Retiro Park.
