Built in 1902 as the residence of the Duke of Santo Mauro, the three mansion-style buildings located in Madrid’s upscale Chamberi district, also known as the diplomatic quarter, make up a luxury boutique hotel, with 49 rooms and suites. It is the only five star which ranks among Madrid’s top 5 luxury hotels, also being a choice for celebrities and personalities from all walks of life. During my stay, the star tennis players participating at the Madrid Open were staying at the property.
With a French influence design, similar to the Parisian palaces of the era, the Hotel Santo Mauro three buildings are surrounded by a magnificent garden which boasts a few centuries-old chestnut trees, making it an oasis of calm and serenity in the heart of Madrid. The location is within close proximity to most of the city’s attractions. But also making it an ideal location for both corporate and leisure guests.
