In the early 20th century, King Alfonso XIII of Spain commissioned the construction of a grand new hotel which would epitomize modern convenience and reflect the city’s potential. The official opening celebrations took place on October 12, 1912.
This luxury hotel is located in the heart of Madrid, within the Art Triangle. The Parliament is across the road, and the Royal Palace and Opera House within walking distance.
The Westin Palace offers elegant facilities only 300 metres from the Prado, Thyssen and Reina Sofia Museums.
The hotel is famous for its beautiful stained-glass dome. Here a fantastic buffet breakfast with music is served.
Rooms at the Palace are elegant and modern. They have the award-winning Westin Heavenly Bed and Heavenly Bath. There is also antique furniture and an internet television.
Cocktails, coffees and aperitifs are offered in the Palace Bar, under the dome. Offering live music, the bar was made famous by Ernest Hemingway in his novel The Sun Also Rises.
