Westin Palace Madrid

With an unbeatable location and a ranking as one of the world's best hotels by Condé Nast Traveler, Westin Palace Madrid is a must-stay for travelers from near and from far, for business and leisure. After being commissioned by King Alfonso XIII in 1912, the palace was fully renovated in recent years. However, it expertly blends the historical significance with modern style and comfort.

Beautifully decorated guest rooms, fine dining experiences, and an ideal location. These and more are just reasons visitors to Madrid keep coming back again and again to the Westin Palace Madrid.

Location

The Westin Palace Hotel sits perfectly in the heart of Madrid, right in the renowned Las Letras Quarter and on Plaza de las Cortes. Known for its impressive array of boutiques and restaurants, Las Letras is also at the center of The Art Walk. In addition, it connects some of Madrid's most popular cultural attractions.

You'll find popular tourist spots such as Thyssen-Bornemisza, Reina Sofia, and Prado Museum along the walk. Moreover, the Spanish Royal Palace, Parliament, and the Opera House of Madrid are all within easy walking distance from the hotel. The hotel is also close to plenty of metro stops as well as the train station.

Rooms

All 470 guest rooms are expertly designed and individually decorated. The hotel's signature Heavenly Bed comes standard in every room and suite. Additionally, all rooms include a sitting area, a desk, and a minibar. There is also a marble bathroom with dual vanities plus a large soaking tub in each.

The Deluxe Guest Room comes with one queen, one king, two twin beds, and a courtyard view. Premium Rooms have the same amenities and bed options but come with a view above the street. Moreover, the Executive Guest Rooms reside on the higher floors of the hotel. Some offer balconies, whereas the Premium View Rooms boast one-of-a-kind views of the Neptune Fountain.

In addition to the fountain view, guests staying in the Premium View Rooms get a remarkable view of the city and its landmarks, such as the Prado Museum. No matter which room you choose, you'll be impressed by the fine attention to decorative detail. You'll also sleep like a baby between the 100% Egyptian cotton sheets.

Suites

The Westin Palace Madrid offers three suite options – Junior Suites, Executive Suites, and the Royal Suite. The Junior Suite option includes a king-sized bed and one bedroom. On the other hand, the Executive Suite also comes with 1.5 bathrooms and a separate bedroom. Additionally, the Executive Suite View rooms overlook the Neptune Fountain, as does the Royal Suite.

Not only is the Royal Suite given the coveted corner location, but it also provides spectacular views of the entire city. It also comes with exclusive amenities and personalized butler service. In addition to the two bedrooms with their own king beds, this suite comes with a study – complete with armchair and fireplace – and a dining room that seats eight. Additional amenities include a sauna, full kitchen, and jetted bathtub.

Restaurant and Bar

If you're looking for fine dining during your stay, the restaurants at Westin Palace Madrid will not disappoint. Illuminated by the hotel's iconic stained-glass cupola, La Rotonda Restaurant offers classic yet elevated meals. Enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner that highlight local ingredients and techniques. On Sundays, enjoy brunch as you take in the sounds of live opera music.

Additionally, the Asia Gallery is considered Madrid's best Asian restaurant by many. Stop by for an authentic Cantonese dinner, and you'll understand the hype. Some of the most popular menu items include the varieties of dim sum and the Peking duck.

Then, there is the Green Tea Sushi Bar. Here, enjoy incredibly and professionally fuses Japanese cuisine and Spanish tapas for a truly unique culinary experience. At 1912 Museo Bar, guests can also enjoy classic cocktails, and live music like guests of old did – guests such as Ernest Hemingway and Salvador Dali. Finally, stop in for an aperitif or an after-dinner coffee.

Spa

Spa treatments are available at the hands of R'difusion professionals. Making the most of the spa team's international background and dedication to individualization, you can be sure that any treatment you choose will be tailored to fit your needs – whether that's relaxation, rejuvenation, anti-aging, or more. As a result, Carita beauty products promise real results and create a truly luxurious experience. Choose from a variety of manicures, pedicures, facials, and massages.

Fitness

Guests will have access to the hotel's fitness center 24 hours per day. The Westin Workout Fitness Studio comes fully equipped with strength bands, medicine balls, and kettlebells. There is also the TRX Suspension Trainer.

The fitness center includes plenty of cardio machines to help you work up a sweat, such as treadmills, stationary bikes, stair steppers, and even rowing machines. Additionally, multiple TVs with their own sound systems help guests entertain or distract themselves through the workout. Afterward, enjoy a light snack and freshly squeezed juice on the terrace overlooking the square as you cool off under the Madrid sky.

Amenities

Complimentary high-speed internet and air conditioning come standard in all rooms. The hotel also has a business center and meeting rooms, if your visit is some work and not all play. Besides, room service is available 24/7, and there is parking available onsite.

Exploring

Although the resort is within Madrid's central traffic regulation area that limits vehicle traffic, that doesn't limit your exploration options. Guided bicycle tours can take you almost anywhere you want to go, with a local professional showing you the best the city has to offer.

A short walk away in the Old Quarter is a shopper's paradise – international name brands, local boutiques, and everything in between. The metro can also take you to the outer reaches of the city and beyond. Moreover, the metro stop steps away from the hotel.

Takeaway

With so many rooms and suites, the Westin Palace has room for anybody and everybody looking to enjoy a luxury hotel in the heart of Madrid. The stained-glass dome stands out above the rooftops of Madrid, just as the property stands out among other luxury hotels.
