Fodor's Review:
An early-20th-century restored palatial building owned by a noble family with extravagant habits (the elevator carried the horses up and down from the exercise ring on the roof), this spectacular hotel closely follows the path of the first AC Santo Mauro with its tasteful, modern decor in a historical building. Palacio preserves even more of its grandiose past: baseboards and fountains covered with ceramics from Talavera, original Parisian stained-glass windows, marble floors and columns, and original moldings. All rooms have superb views of the nearby Retiro Park. Bathroom doors in the double superior rooms are full-size Lichtenstein silk-screen prints. Pros: Spacious, stylish rooms; within walking distance of the Prado; bathrooms stocked with all sorts of complimentary products. Cons: Pricey, lower rooms facing the park can get noisy.
