The Grand Palace of Castellana
Commanding a majestic address on Madrid’s grandest boulevard, InterContinental Madrid has welcomed emperors, presidents, and Hollywood icons since opening in 1953 as Spain’s very first international five-star luxury hotel. Situated in the aristocratic Chamberí district along the border of Salamanca’s Golden Mile, the property seamlessly fuses Mid-Century grandeur with contemporary luxury.
Step through the classical portico into the breathtaking marble-lined rotunda lobby, illuminated by a monumental central chandelier and Spanish neoclassical arches. During the golden era of film, the hotel was Ava Gardner’s beloved Madrid home for over ten years; Frank Sinatra, Sophia Loren, and Charlton Heston regularly gathered in Bar 49 and the sunlit garden terrace of El Jardín.
Today, the hotel retains that same magnetic allure. With 302 stately rooms and suites, the bi-level Club InterContinental Lounge, the lush outdoor sanctuary of El Jardín, and the weekly culinary spectacle of Madrid’s most celebrated Sunday Champagne Brunch, InterContinental Madrid remains an enduring landmark of European high society.
