What was classic (Madrid) is one of the buzziest destinations again. A big reason, besides always-in-style flamenco and tapas, is the selection of new hotels in town. The Rosewood has officially taken over the longtime Villa Magna. In true Rosewood fashion, what’s old has been made modern and cool again. Here’s the preview of the Rosewood Villa Magna.

The Specs

Under the Rosewood, Villa Magna, an historic hotel, has a total of 154 accommodations.   In Rosewood style, they stay true to the cultural heritage of the original, but bring in a unique modern luxury that sets them apart.

Coveted Location and Dining

The Salamanca District is where the chic locals live and dine in Madrid.  This part of town has the top restaurants, designer boutiques, and traditional Spanish architecture.

It’s also worth staying in.  The Rosewood Villa Magna’s restaurant, Amós is helmed by Michelin chef, Jesús Sánchez.
