Meliá Hotels opens luxury Madrid hotel
Set in the Los Austrias district, the historical and artistic heart of Madrid, the 5-star Gran Meliá Palacio de los Duques has opened its doors.
Stated to become “a unique and exclusive meeting point, for both travellers and locals alike,” Melia’s 23rd hotel in the Spanish capital is located in the renovated building that was previously the well-known Hotel Ambassador.
A
member of the exclusive "Leading Hotels of the World" list, t
he Gran Meliá Palacio de los Duques showcases an impressive art collection - most notably in its nine suites, which all feature a reproduction of a classic piece by the famous Spanish painter Diego Velázquez. The hotel also features 171 “stylish and sophisticated” rooms, all equipped with the latest technology, as well as a Nespresso coffee machine, a mini-bar and a wide range of Clarins beauty products.
Guests who want to feel like royalty while staying at the hotel can choose to experience the exclusive RedLevel Service offered by Gran Meliá Hotels & Resorts, designed to feel like “a boutique hotel within the hotel.” This area houses the most luxurious rooms and services, as well as a gourmet restaurant, a wine cellar with a selection of products from the different Spanish regions, and a signature cocktail-bar.
The main hotel provides its guests with two unique settings in which to enjoy its culinary offerings. In the centre of the hotel are the Coroa Gallery Lounge & Gardens, an all-day dining space, where guests can savour a creative menu of Mediterranean specialities inspired by different artistic styles, such as Baroque, Naturalism and Dadaism. The Franco-Spanish Montmartre 1889 Restaurant & Gardens, meanwhile, takes the Paris Exposition Universelle and the district after which it is named as its source of inspiration. It also offers an extensive selection of fine wines and pairings from the finest Spanish and French wineries.
Beauty and wellness are also accommodated. The Thai Room Wellness provides an exclusive spa with oriental rituals such as herbal steam baths, facial treatments with silkworm cocoons and natural body scrubs.
“Meliá Hotels International is committed to the luxury segment within the Gran Meliá brand with its two new openings of Gran Meliá Palacio de los Duques and Gran Meliá de Mar in Spain, and the forthcoming addition of Gran Meliá Nacional Río de Janeiro in Brazil. The combination of the tradition of the white glove and the elegance of the red carpet with the intrinsically Spanish passion inspires everything we do,” Melia Hotels said in a press release.
