Nothing compares to a stay at the Ritz in Paris.An experience to remember!!! I don't find it conservative, it's classy, full of style. I have stayed there often and I can answer all your questions. I also have a review on the Ritz in epinions.com ( my username is teresarg)and on tripadvisor,. be free to ask me any questions and I will email you.

From what I gather, the urban is 4 star, but the other derby hotel there is the villa real - and that is 5 star. so is the park hyatt villa magna in the salamanca district. we're going to be staying at the westin palace - the "grand wedding cake" as some websites call it. beautiful dome and from what i hear not as stuffy as the ritz...(and better priced.)

Hi
I've never stayed at the Urban but checked it out when I was in Madrid. I love the way they have done this hotel. I would describe it as uber cool and funky. It's not my perception of a typical 5* design though. So it may not be for everyone. Have you checked out the Palace Hotel -http://www.westinpalacemadrid.com/eng/informacion/. Beautiful hotel and sure to please!
As for the Ritz, do a search in Fodors for the Ritz Hotel, Madrid. There is a thread on this. One poster commented it was a bit run down.
Hope this helps.
