the Villa Magna specializes in a sort of whispered opulence that makes this hotel the choice for visiting heads of state, celebrities, business travelers and tourists alike.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set along tree-lined Paseo de la Castellana in Salamanca, the hotel sits moments from Calle Serrano boutiques and the Prado Museum.
The rooms
Muted palettes and residential furnishings frame views of Paseo de la Castellana, paired with large marble bathrooms and tailored Spanish textiles.
The spa
Subterranean treatment cabins use Spanish botanicals like thyme and citrus blossom, alongside a dedicated hair and scalp clinic.
Gym and yoga
Technogym equipment lines the fitness studio, and yoga sessions stretch out on the sunlit terrace.
The hammam and baths
A circular stone hydrotherapy basin sits alongside the traditional Mayrit hammam and a eucalyptus steam room.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Amós by Jesús Sánchez
Chef Jesús Sánchez presents northern Spanish dining here, serving Cantabrian tasting menus across warm wood-paneled dining rooms.
White walls with gold accents frame patterned carpets and king beds; silk lamp covers and fabric wall coverings add texture.
At the table
Las Brasas grills classic Spanish dishes beside the garden terrace, and Flor y Nata serves handcrafted afternoon pastries.
How it began
Built in 1972 on the nineteenth-century Anglada Palace site, the modernist landmark combines aristocratic heritage with refreshed contemporary architecture.
“Fireplaces, comforting earthtones, a storied art collection and lots of sunlight create a warm environment only enhanced by the attentive hosts.”
