Madrid, Spain

Art and tradition combine in Madrid’s historic heart

In the artistic and cultural heart of Madrid, a short walk from some of the most important monuments in the city, such as the Royal Palace, the Teatro Real and the Almudena Cathedral, the Palacio de los Duques, a Gran Meliá Hotel, combines vintage splendour with a delicate contemporary sensibility. This fascinating palace maintains all the character and elegance of the original structure, a former 19th-century residence noted for its historical gardens. Elegant, exquisitely designed rooms capture the moment and make it eternal. The interior’s rich colours and clean lines take inspiration from Velázquez’s famous Las Meninas (the Spanish master’s painting hangs in the Prado Museum, which is an easy walk from the 180-room hotel). Get a peek of the Almudena Cathedral from the rooftop pool and pampering treatments at the Thai-inspired spa. Barcelona’s Michelin-starred Torres brothers head up the hotel’s Dos Cielos restaurant; for lighter fare, try tapas at the Coroa Royal Gallery lounge.
