The Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Madrid

The Heritage

Madrid’s Aristocratic Crown Jewel Since 1912

A century of history, grand architecture, and unforgettable cultural encounters

Commissioned in 1912 by King Alfonso XIII to endow the Spanish capital with a hotel worthy of European royalty, The Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Madrid (formerly The Westin Palace) stands proudly within Madrid's UNESCO-listed Landscape of Light. Centered on the Plaza de las Cortes, this Belle Époque grand dame is enveloped by Madrid's Golden Art Triangle—the Prado, Thyssen-Bornemisza, and Reina Sofía museums—as well as the vibrant literary alleys of the Barrio de las Letras.

Following an extensive master restoration, the hotel presents 470 beautifully appointed rooms and suites that balance historic grandeur with modern residential comfort. Accommodations feature soaring ceilings, curated artwork, hand-tufted carpets, and opulent marble bathrooms with rainfall showers. Standouts include the palatial Cervantes Suites with views of the Neptune Fountain and the majestic Royal Suite.

At the architectural heart of the hotel lies La Cúpula Restaurant & Bar, sheltered beneath a monumental stained-glass cupola engineered in 1912. Here, diners savor Executive Chef Nuno Matos's refined cuisine, including homage dishes to historical guests like Pablo Picasso and Salvador Dalí, alongside Madrid's famous Sunday Opera & Brunch. Adjoining La Cúpula, the storied 27 Club cocktail lounge celebrates literary icons, where Ernest Hemingway once penned notes over classic martinis.
