"Housed in a French-style neoclassical residence that once belonged to a duke, this hotel pairs Italian marble fireplaces and Persian rugs with the aura of aristocratic history, delivering a palatial, historically rooted luxury experience in Madrid." - Mitchell Friedman
"Santo Mauro’s classic status lies beyond the tawdry plane of real life. Built between 1898 and 1902 as the private palacio of the Dukes of Santo Mauro, who still own the building, the 49-room bubble of gorgeousness, now part of Marriott’s Luxury Collection, occupies an affluent corner of the Almagro neighborhood, where the ebullience of Chamberí gives way to embassies and private clinics. High-ceilinged public rooms compete in fin de siècle grandeur, but design doyen Lorenzo Castillo’s major interior refresh has removed some of the old hauteur, bringing a certain lightness and chic in spite of the many engravings and antiques. The walls have been upholstered and ceiling moldings under-lit; restored parquet floors creak underfoot. The wood-paneled La Biblioteca Gresca is now the setting for Barcelona-based chef Rafael Peña’s refined Mediterranean market cooking. An outpost of his Gresca in Barcelona, it serves traditional Spanish fare surrounded by walls of colorful books. Meanwhile, the French-style formal garden has been reimagined by landscaper Fernando Valero as a maze of box hedges and trickling fountains, with crunching gravel, towering horse chestnut trees, and fences draped with ivy."
"Santo Mauro, a Luxury Collection Hotel, is an authentic neoclassical mansion from 1895, offering exclusive 51 rooms and a private garden, making it one of the most luxurious accommodations in Madrid." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Modern amenities meet 19th-century French aristocratic sensibility in this five-star hotel, which earned a place on our 2023 It List for its flamboyant decor and 49 antique furnished rooms spread across three sophisticated buildings. Formerly home to the Duke of Santo Mauro, the hotel showcases notable French influences in its design and architecture — yet many of the Lorenzo Castillo-designed suites feature unique textiles inspired by the Duke’s travels in India and China." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"We also had a model room for the Luxury Collection that I wanted to see."
