A REGAL HOTEL FROM THE ORIENT-EXPRESS HOTEL GROUP
What do Madonna and Margaret Thatcher have in common? Or Frank Sinatra and Fidel Castro? Or Tom Cruise and Tom Ford? Or King Alfonso XIII and Cesar Ritz? The answer is, of course, The Ritz in Madrid.
King Alfonso and Mr Ritz were the prime movers and shapers of this monumentally impressive, Baroque masterpiece which has, since its doors opened in 1910, become a key attraction to some of Madrid’s most auspicious, aristocratic, famous, wealthy and talented visitors.
Deservedly so, you will think, as you stroll onto the hotel’s renowned outdoor terrace for a spot of Sunday brunch. Or when you cast your eyes around your suite, decorated in the high style of the belle époque. Or when view the city and gardens from the floor-to-ceiling windows.
