A New Era for a Historic Hotel
Madrid's Westin Palace has gracefully transitioned into a new chapter of luxury by re-emerging as The Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel. This historic establishment, dating back to 1912, has undergone a two-year restoration and refurbishment befitting its storied past, positioning itself among the elite hotels on the globe. Nestled in the vibrant Barrio de las Letras, its location places guests at the heart of the city's cultural tapestry, close to renowned spots like Plaza Mayor and the Prado Museum.
Restoration that Honors History
The stunning restoration, executed by Ruiz Larrea Arquitectura, revived the hotel's original façade and unveiled floral embellishments long hidden from view. Work on the iconic stained glass and iron dome—a masterpiece designed by Eduardo Ferrés i Puig—was extensive, requiring the expertise of over 100 dedicated specialists. This meticulous attention to detail has infused the hotel with a fresh vibrancy while honoring its past. Historical elements blend seamlessly with modern comforts to create an inspiring environment for guests.

A Culinary Experience Worth Savoring
Dining at La Cúpula, the hotel’s all-day restaurant, offers not only delectable dishes but an experience beneath the exquisitely restored dome. Guests can indulge in specialty dishes like Julio Camba's steak tartare or Pablo Picasso's Waldorf salad, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens.
