Hotel Ritz Madrid to be Rebranded by Mandarin Oriental

The iconic Hotel Ritz, Madrid will be rebranded this summer as the Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid, following the most extensive restoration in its 110-year history.

The celebrated hotel, which was designed and built under the supervision of legendary hotelier César Ritz, first opened its doors in 1910.

The hotel has always been an integral part of society in Spain’s capital, and has been host to royalty, politicians, corporate leaders and celebrities.

Situated within the ‘Golden Triangle of Art’ - an area defined by the most important museums in the city such as the Prado, the Thyssen-Bornemisza and the Reina Sofía Museum of Modern Art - the hotel ’s location within a prestigious residential area close to Madrid’s financial and commercial district and to El Retiro Park, adds to its appeal.

Spanish architect, Rafael de La-Hoz, has been instrumental in providing the context for the historical restoration, while French designers, Gilles & Boissier, have overseen the interiors.

Chef Quique Dacosta, one of the most celebrated chefs in Spain, has been appointed to design, develop and oversee all culinary operations at the hotel’s five restaurants and bars.
