Inspired by King Alfonso XIII's desire to build a luxury hotel to rival the Ritz in Paris, the Ritz Orient-Express in Madrid shares with the Ritz hotels in Paris and London a reputation as one of the original grand luxury hotels in Europe. The Ritz has played a crucial role in the life of Madrid for over a century. Still today, the hotel remains a key attraction for many to this European capital.

The hotel's location alone constitutes a luxury. The Ritz Orient-Express is situated between the beautiful Retiro Park, the elegant Teatro de la Zarzuela, and Madrid's most important museums: the Prado, the Thyssen Bornemisza and the Centro de Arte Moderno Reina Sofia.

All rooms and suites are elegantly appointed with either courtyard or exterior views, rooms have single, double and twin beds. The highly acclaimed Goya Restaurant offers a wide selection of Mediterranean and Spanish cuisine. In Spring and Summer the Terrace and Gardens of the Ritz Orient-Express are the perfect meeting place in Madrid for a delightful al fresco lunch or dinner, or to sample traditional Spanish tapas.
