Santo Mauro, a Luxury Collection Hotel
Aristocratic palace hotel with a contemporary twist. The public rooms — a Red Lounge done in pure French Classicism, a Chinese Lounge full of the Duke's oriental collectibles, a cocktail bar with a full author's menu — each feel distinct. Rooms designed by Madrid interior designer Lorenzo Castillo mix 19th-century opulence with modern super-king beds and sleek Barcelona-influenced touches. Feels more like a private house than a hotel, in the best way.
Ask for a room in the original palace building rather than the annex — character is markedly different.
Why It Matters
A pioneer of Madrid's boutique-hotel boom in the 1990s — its refined eclecticism has since been copied throughout Spain. Now flying the Luxury Collection flag, it's The Luxury Collection's first Madrid property. The garden alone, landscaped by Fernando Valero with indigenous plants and original fountains, is arguably the finest private hotel garden in the city. Chef Rafa Peña (of Barcelona's acclaimed Gresca) helms the food program. Conde Nast Traveler Iconic Hotel 2025.
A 19th-century ducal palace turned 49-room luxury hotel in Madrid's aristocratic Chamberí district. Built by architect Juan Bautista Lázaro between 1889 and 1902 for the Duke of Santo Mauro, the French-style building is spread across three structures surrounding a lush private garden with century-old chestnut trees. The ducal family still owns the palace. It's intimate, discreet, and stacked with period furniture, marble fireplaces, and designer rooms — the kind of place where the Beckhams have stayed but the staff won't confirm it.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Almagro Presidential Suite
One of three presidential suites and the most discreet — guests can reach their door without being seen. Lorenzo Castillo's interior design is a full work of art: light, shapes, and a considered absence of color all play their part. Private terrace. Butler service available as part of the Presidential Signature Experience package.
King
Gran Deluxe King Room
The entry point into Santo Mauro, and still distinctly luxurious. Individually furnished with high-quality finishes, marble bathroom, luxury bedding, and high-speed Wi-Fi. Soundproofed windows keep the city out. Evening turndown brings local chocolates from La Pajarita, one of Madrid's oldest confectioners.
King
Luxury Suite 102
Designed by Lorenzo Castillo around exquisite floral prints and a dramatic play of natural light — the room gathers strong crimson tones at both sunrise and sunset. A full artistic concept, not just a larger room. Offers the feeling of waking up inside a painting.
KingLuxury Suite 104
A floor-to-ceiling floral print themes every centimeter of this room, connecting visually to the hotel's iconic garden through one of the best interior views in the building. Can be connected directly to the Zurbano Presidential Suite on request — making it the largest possible configuration.
KingLuxury Terrace Suite
The only Luxury Suite with its own private exterior terrace. Split into distinct areas — a light-filled main room, an intimate bedroom, and a bathroom on its own level — creating a genuine sense of privacy within the city center. The terrace gives a direct physical link to the urban pulse outside without giving up any sense of seclusion.
KingThe Duke's Suite
The hotel's absolute top configuration: Zurbano Presidential Suite combined with Luxury Suite 104 into one unified booking. The original Duke's bedroom. Walls covered in magnificent green velvet, ceiling fittings that are genuine relics. Accessing this requires contacting the hotel directly.
KingZurbano Presidential Suite
Described by the hotel as 'the most palatial' of all suites. Same private entrance and terrace as the Almagro Presidential, same Lorenzo Castillo design philosophy, but with a distinct character. Can be combined with Luxury Suite 104 to form The Duke's Suite — the hotel's most expansive configuration.
