In Photos: Every Three Key Hotel in Spain
"More than a century after its founding by the legendary hotelier César Ritz, this Belle Époque palace remains central to the Spanish capital’s hospitality scene. King Alfonso XIII was instrumental to its establishment — and the architecture, both inside and out, is nothing short of monumental. The hotel’s rooms and suites, even today, are suitably old-world in their inspiration, though a 2021 renovation has ensured they’re anything but old-fashioned. The named suites, naturally, are the most ornate, and the most over-the-top luxurious; even the entry-level rooms, however, are first-rate in their comforts, and subtly modern in their details." - The MICHELIN Guide
