Book NowRitz 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. Opened in 1910 by the king (who also personally supervised construction), the Ritz is a monument to the Belle Epoque, its salons furnished with rare antiques, hand-embroidered linens, and handwoven carpets. 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.
