The Westin Palace, Madrid (Madrid, Spain)

Built at the direction of King Alfonso XIII in 1912, The Westin Palace, Madrid was recently restored to its original splendor. Set near the Prado, notable museums, and historic monuments, it was ranked as the #1 hotel in Spain in Condé Nast Traveler’s 2008 Gold List. The magnificent building, highlighted by an enormous stained glass dome, has long been a center of Spanish society. Among the many amenities are meeting rooms, restaurants, and a newly renovated WestinWORKOUT® fitness center overlooking the city. The 468 guest rooms and spacious suites have been updated with all modern conveniences and with the Westin Heavenly Bed® and Heavenly Bath®. Rooms are exquisitely decorated with antique furnishings and original mahogany and plaster details.
