Rosewood Villa Magna, Madrid
More photosRosewood Villa Magna sits on the prestigious Paseo de la Castellana, occupying the historic site of the 19th-century Anglada Palace. While the original palace is long gone, the hotel pays homage to its aristocratic roots through its sophisticated design, masterfully reimagined by the Australian-based BAR Studio during a major 2021 renovation.
The hotel feels more like a private residence or an exclusive social club than a traditional hotel. It houses a staggering collection of over 380 artworks, ranging from classical pieces to contemporary installations. One of its most striking features is the lobby’s spiral staircase, where stained-glass windows refract sunlight to create a shifting spectrum of color throughout the day.
For food lovers, the hotel is a destination in its own right. It features Amós, helmed by Michelin-starred chef Jesús Sánchez, which focuses on elevated Cantabrian cuisine. Guests can also unwind at the Tarde.O bar or visit the *Sense* spa, which offers treatments inspired by traditional Iberian botanicals like orange blossom and Mediterranean lavender.
Location-wise, you are in the heart of the Salamanca district, Madrid’s premier shopping hub. You’ll be mere minutes from the “Golden Mile” of luxury boutiques and the sprawling, green expanse of Retiro Park. It also serves as an excellent starting point for exploring the “Golden Triangle of Art,” including the world-famous Prado Museum.
Whether you’re enjoying the terrace or relaxing in the residential-style suites, the property blends deep historical respect with modern luxury, making it a serene urban oasis.
Expert reviews
“Perched along Madrid’s posh Paseo de la Castellana, Rosewood Villa Magna exudes an air of understated luxury more akin to a prestigious social club than a trendy hotel. And that’s exactly why Rosewood’s following of high-end clientele flocks to the Salamanca address.”
“Rosewood Villa Magna, newly renovated, is among the city’s most luxurious addresses and near the major art museums and high-end shops of the upscale Barrio de Salamanca. Its three roaring fireplaces in the lobby and bar make it ideal for a cozy winter stay.”

“Set on Madrid’s famous Paseo de la Castellana, this hotel has immediate cachet. Embassies, banks, and big-name retailers share the neighborhood with this member of The Leading Hotels of the World, whose guest list includes big celebrities and diplomats.”
Featured in CN Traveler’s Hotlist 2023.
“The Spanish capital is in the throes of a hospitality renaissance, and among its leaders is this 154-room haven, perched on the elegant Paseo de la Castellana. Everything about the hotel feels incredibly discreet, from the handsome interiors to Tarde.O, its sexy cocktail bar.”

Overall, a satisfactory stay.
Overall satisfactory, we loved our room, the service from the front desk and concierge, the bar (mainly from the lady with the glasses) and the attention my child received (small gifts and all), which is something I really appreciated.
The dissatisfaction was mainly food related, twice in the breakfast area and once in the lobby/hall area.
Unsanitary food handling should not be permitted at all.
And service should exceed expectations all the time.

Perfection, luxury and sweetness all the way around!
One of the best hotels. As in very best. They thought of every single detail right down to robe sizes (gleaned from our passports). Full, glorious bar, my favorite luxury skin care basics in the bathroom. Most of all every single staff person was friendly, sweet, helpful and attentive. Also, fresh fruit and flowers!
Loved everything.

Other Madrid hotels
Apartosuites Jardines de Sabatini, Madrid
Apartosuites Jardines de Sabatini is a unique boutique aparthotel perfectly positioned across from the Royal Palace of Madrid. Combining the independence of a private apartment with hotel-style amenities, its studios and suites are equipped with kitchenettes, making them an ideal choice for both short city breaks and longer stays.
Lonely Planet + 1 more“Modern, spacious studios and suites are only half the story at this terrific property just down the hill from Plaza de España. Definitely pay extra for a room with a view over the lovely Jardines de Sabatini – simply brilliant.”
Relais & Châteaux Orfila, Madrid
Relais & Châteaux Orfila is a hidden gem in Madrid’s quiet, upscale Chamberí district. Housed in a charming 1886 palace, this small, family-owned hotel feels more like a private art gallery than a typical city stay, complete with marble floors, antique furniture, and a tranquil, flower-filled courtyard garden.
CNN + 3 more“The Orfila is a converted 19th-century palace. Close enough to the Castellana to feel the pulse of the city’s main artery, set back enough to sleep quietly and stroll along sedate side streets.”
Hotel NH Collection Suecia, Madrid
The NH Collection Madrid Suecia is a historic gem tucked just off the bustling Gran Vía. Originally opened in 1956 by the Swedish royal family, the building famously served as a home-away-from-home for legendary figures like Ernest Hemingway and Che Guevara during their visits to the Spanish capital.
New York Times + 1 more“After being shuttered for years the Hotel Suecia reopened in January 2014 as the Innside Madrid Suecia, a new concept hotel by the Spanish Melía chain for on-the-go travelers. The décor features blond woods and nubby fabrics; the building was once home to both the Swedish Cultural Institute and Ernest Hemingway. It has 127 rooms, an all-day restaurant and a fabulous roof terrace just one tranquil block away from the Paseo del Prado.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Madrid.
Hostel The Hat, Madrid
The Hat Madrid is a stylish boutique hostel that perfectly balances historic charm with modern, functional design. Opened in 2014, the property is situated in an authentic building that features original columns and unique vaulted ceilings. One of its standout architectural quirks is the "cave" common area, an atmospheric space that serves as a cool retreat for guests to relax or grab a snack.
Telegraph“The Hat hikes up the standard of Madrid hostels with the style of a boutique hotel and lots of good ideas for a comfortable, fun stay without paying silly prices. Sights, shops and restaurants are on the doorstep and there is a groovy bar up on the roof. Unsurprisingly, it attracts all ages.”
