The Westin Palace, Madrid

Commissioned by King Alfonso XIII in 1912, the newly restored Westin Palace Madrid is set near the Prado, historic monuments and some of the best tapas restaurants in town. It was ranked as one of the world's best hotels by Condé Nast Traveler’s 2010 Gold List. Topped by an enormous stained glass dome, the regal building has been a center of Spanish society for almost 100 years. It boasts meeting rooms, restaurants, bars, shops, a beauty parlour, and a WestinWORKOUT® Fitness Studio overlooking the city. The 470 guest rooms and spacious suites have been updated with all modern conveniences and with the Heavenly® Bed and Heavenly® Bath. Rooms are exquisitely decorated with antique furnishings and original mahogany and plaster details.
