Located in the privileged Habsburg district in the heart of the Spanish capital, across from the Opera House and the Royal Palace, Palacio de los Duques, a Gran Meliá Hotel, is a luxury urban resort offering 160 spacious rooms and 20 luxurious suites. Housed in a magnificent 19th-century palace—once the residence of the Duques de Granada de Ega y Villahermosa—this historic property blends aristocratic charm with contemporary elegance. The hotel is deeply inspired by the legacy of Diego Velázquez, one of Spain’s most iconic painters. His masterpieces are reinterpreted throughout the hotel’s design, creating a refined atmosphere where art and history come to life in every detail—from the décor to the curated experiences. Guests can unwind in the 1,000 sqm Historical Garden, a rare green oasis in central Madrid, offering serenity and gourmet dining under the shade of centuries-old trees. The rooftop terrace features a seasonal pool, Jacuzzi, and panoramic 360° views of the city skyline—perfect for sunset moments. The Thai Room wellness sanctuary offers authentic Asian therapies in a tranquil setting. Culinary excellence is at the heart of the experience, with El Jardín de los Duques offering refined Mediterranean cuisine in a peaceful garden setting, and Coroa providing a sophisticated ambiance for cocktails and light bites. A symbol of timeless luxury and cultural heritage, Palacio de los Duques is part of Leading Hotels of the World, offering an unforgettable stay for guests with the most refined tastes and a passion for art, history, and elegance.
