Ritz Review
Alfonso XIII, about to marry Queen Victoria's granddaughter, encouraged the construction of this hotel—the most exclusive in Spain—for his royal guests, and he not only performed the opening ceremony in 1910, he also personally supervised construction; a monument to the Belle Epoque, its salons are furnished with rare antiques, hand-embroidered linens, and handwoven carpets, and all rooms (which are slowly being revamped) have canopy beds; some have views of the Prado. The famous and pricey restaurant, Goya, serves a Sunday brunch feast that's accompanied by the soothing strains of harp music; from February to May, you can enjoy chamber music during weekend tea and supper.
