The Ritz and Westin Palace hotels in Madrid

Ritz Madrid at Night

Ritz Madrid ReceptionDuring my recent visit to Madrid of course I made a special note to visit the top hotels of the city (as I always do). There I came across the Ritz Madrid, which was one of the original grand luxury hotels in Europe and established in 1910. Designed by the French Architect Charles Mewes Frédéric, this hotel was first managed by Antonio Mella, who had already previously managed other properties of Ritz including London and Paris (so plenty of experience). It is a celebrated establishment still today and currently operating as  a leading hotel of the world.

Palace Hotel MadridJust opposite the Ritz you will find the Westin Palace hotel. Just like it’s colleague, the Palace hotel is rich in history and only 2 years younger. Built in 1912, the Hotel Palace was the largest hotel in Europe and opened after only 18 months of construction. It featured all kinds of innovative things for the time, including telephone, intercom and toilets in each room. The basement was famous as it housed many events and services, including a jazz lounge, dance halls, brewery and Cine Palace. One thing I observed and found remarkable was the fact that the Sunday brunch was accompanied by a live opera singer, something I can’t say I have observed before and I also noted that the building very much reminded me of the Grand Hotel Budapest… I swear, paint it pink and it could be almost the same! ^_^;

That being said I simply couldn’t resist a nice evening in such fine establishments (and why in the world would I?) and decided to take a time out in the Ritz later on. Here I was able to absorb the environment and Wine in the Ritz Madridenjoy the pianist play serene tunes as I lounged in the bar. In the next room they had set up a projector to allow the gentlemen to enjoy the game of Madrid vs. Barcelona which was going on that evening…
