    This was our first visit to Madrid hence this hotel, everything was simply perfect. We arrived early and as our room was ready we got to check in early, so we could have a rest before heading out to the museums... The room and bathroom were nice and clean, although the bedroom was carpeted... This is one of my pet hates in hotels, but that just my preference others may not mind... The done room where we had breakfast was absolutely the best experience for breakfast dining I have had overtaking my former favourite in Milan (see my reviews for more)...

    My family had an amazing stay in Westin Palace Madrid... She couldn’t be more welcoming and accommodating which really set a great start... I also want to highlight the world class service from Andres... He came to greet us multiple times during our stay and checked in frequently if there is anything he could do for us... The second morning he immediately helped to find a new suite after the clear noises from the construction I could heard in the first room... In addition, he arranged a nice little surprise with multiple staffs coming to my room to celebrate my son’s birthday... It’s rare to see this level of service from my decades of travel experience... We wholeheartedly recommend Westin Palace Madrid and won’t hesitate to come back!...

From the minute we first walked in the door, he made us feel like we were old friends who just happened to have not seen each other for a few years... If you’re lucky enough to stay here, keep an eye out for Alberto at reception...

    This was our first visit to Madrid hence this hotel, everything was simply perfect. We arrived early and as our room was ready we got to check in early, so we could have a rest before heading out to the museums... The room and bathroom were nice and clean, although the bedroom was carpeted... The done room where we had breakfast was absolutely the best experience for breakfast dining I have had overtaking my former favourite in Milan (see my reviews for more)... The only thing that I would change apart from the carpets in the rooms would be to offer guests a room or changing area when collecting baggage after check out...

    ...We stayed there over Christmas and was very pleased with the hotel, the services it provided and the friendliness of the staff. The concierges were most helpful in arranging tours for us or recommending places to eat etc... Much of this was done ahead of time and they were very resposnive to emails... Any minor inconveniences we experienced were handled immediately... This was especially remarkable as this took place over Xmas and they had the appropriate technicians on call... The room was very classy and comfortable as was the bathroom... Breakfast was awesome with everything you could imagine and an omelet station... Would highly recommend this hotel and would stay there again on my next trip to Madrid...

    ...I had messaged the hotel prior to our arrival to request an upgrade to a suite. I was assured that they would do their best to accommodate based on availability... When we checked in, Antonio in front desk flat out lied that they didn’t have any suites... I showed him the email exchange with the hotel and immediately checked the Marriott app and called his bluff and showed him the many suites that were available... Complained to front desk and they were able to address my concerns... Those items were not replenished; instead, some other no-name brand toiletries were provided for the remainder of our stay... Ditto maintenance when we complained about the air conditioning...

    ...The hotel did a great job of having the benefits of a large hotel while maintaining the character and charm of the city. The location was perfect, walkable to almost everywhere... Need a taxi, no issue a stand is right outside... Or rooms seemed recently redone and were very nice and comfortable... The breakfast at the hotel was excellent with a very wide assortment of choices... The final great touch was the excellent concierge which helped us pick out and reserve excellent restaurants at night... They also pointed us to a great bike rental spot at Retiro Park(highly recomend it)...

    My family had an amazing stay in Westin Palace Madrid... She couldn’t be more welcoming and accommodating which really set a great start... It’s rare to see this level of service from my decades of travel experience... The hotel is in a prime location, easily walkable to all the major attractions... Even without any updates, the classic luxury combined with all the modern amenities really puts it at the top of hotels in Madrid... Breakfast spread is huge and of high quality... We wholeheartedly recommend Westin Palace Madrid and won’t hesitate to come back!...

Furnishings were lovely, bed very comfortable and tons of space...

    ...We stayed here twice during our Spain trip bookending the trip so we actually were able to see two different rooms. Because there are four of us we opted for the suite since it could easily hold two rollaway beds in the living room, giving my wife and I our own space in the adjacent bedroom... The rooms were lovely, we heard no noise either in the hallways or outside... The beds soft, the pillows fluffy and the staff turned over our linens every morning around 8-9 AM... There is no pool for the kids, but the rest of the hotel is gorgeous... It is truly a palace and the general vibe of the hotel definitely feels regal... There is a large array of foods to choose from, an omelet bar, pancakes and waffles for the kids and a smorgasbord of things for adults (smoked fish, green juices, fresh fruit, etc etc) The location is honestly ideal and dead center in the city... This was my first trip to Madrid and I felt like we were within walking distance to all the neighborhoods such as Salamanca (think Madison ave), Malasaña (think Williamsburg/silver lake), the grand Via, etc... The Prado is 2 minutes away and the Thyssen basically shares a wall with the hotel... We felt incredibly welcomed the second we walked in the door... The gentleman who helped with our luggage and got us taxis was wonderful... But I have to give a special shout out to Alberto, the gentleman at the front desk...

As part of the Westin brand the beds are what you come to expect from a Westin and the heavenly beds... Very comfortable and a nice way to end a tiring day... Breakfast was awesome with everything you could imagine and an omelet station... All located in a beautiful rotunda room... A few nice restaurants on site which we did not get a chance to try...

    ...The Westin Palace hotel is wonderfully located across the street from the Prado and Thyssen museums in the heart of the city. The hotel's lobby is palatial with paintings on the ceiling... It in turn leads up a flight of steps and eventually into a beautiful regal, warm and exuberantly decorated dining hall... It was a great place where we enjoyed a glass or two of wine in the evenings and their delicious buffet breakfast in the mornings... In fact, the lattes were also delicious and the staff so very welcoming and pleasant.. Our room was on the corner on the top floor (6th) looking out over the main road towards Recoleta park and the Prado... This is our favorite place to stay here in Madrid...

    ...The company put us up in this nice 5 star hotel. Like many other 5 star hotels it has a luxurious and grand entrance and hallways... The room is also very nice and clean, with most of the things you'd expect like a safe, TV, toiletries, etc... They also supply slippers and bath robe... There was no tea/coffee and kettle in the room though... Bathroom is nice too but as you'd expect there is no facility to wash yourself at the toilet and moreover the toilet is distinctly separate from the basin/bath (is it supposed to be more luxurious?)... The breakfast was good, they have a nice selection of vegetarian options like waffle/pancake/crepes, cereal, salads, different types of potato (baked/fried), jams, pastries and even churros... The hotel seems to be situated in a central location with many shops and restaurants nearby... Do checkout the big park nearby...

The service from the bell staff at the door, to the staff helping us figure out the tv, through the restaurant was impeccable... The hotel is well kept with cool shops... Location is fantastic, steps away from the Prado museum, etc...

Another beautiful hotel on our Tauck tour. Dining under the beautiful dome for breakfast is a delight. Rooms are gradually being renovated but ours was not. Good sized room for two people with 4 pieces of luggage. Another hated duvet but comfortable bed which seemed to be wider than a twin. No kleenex to be had anywhere. Convenient walking to The Prado and other shops, including a Burger King not too far away. Yes we stay at 5 star hotels on this tour and eat at Burger King or McDonalds when convenient. No hotel we’ve stayed in on this two week trip has an ice machine so we miss a fountain coke with ice!!

This beautiful historic building has been tastefully restored. The mattress was so comfortable we thought about buying one. The breakfast selection was excellent - a buffet with made to order eggs, in a room with a marvelous stained glass dome. The bar area was dark and comfy, with good, if expensive, drinks. The neighborhood is charming, with a large park and many outdoor cafes nearby. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

If you can, book a Meet and Greet at the airport through the hotel. They had a rep meet us at the airplane as we deplaned. Then they took us to our driver who drove us to the hotel in a Maybach. Wow! After a shaky start at check in with some confusion with our confirmed Jr Suite room with terrace, we were upgraded to a stunning 1 bed suite. Our entire time at the hotel was perfection. The hotel is gorgeous. The food is delicious. The location is perfect. Near all the sights in Madrid. We booked a private driver through the hotel to drive us to Seville. Great way to travel. We highly recommend this hotel.

Fantástico hotel, que acabo de conocer. El personal es super amable y atento, nuestra habitación está muy bien, con vistas a la fuente de Neptuno. Impresiona entrar en el hall, es una preciosidad. Y recomiendo totalmente el desayuno buffet, bajo la mítica cúpula: son 45€ pero tienen de todo y super bueno, además no te presionan aunque sean más de las 11h (hora de cierre); si se acaba algo (me pasó con el calabacín a la plancha) y es casi dicha hora… te preguntan si quieres que te lo preparen!!! Aluciné. Además tienen muy pocos envases de plástico (hay mermelada a granel!!!), lo cual es muy ecológico. También el menú de comidas y cenas es fenomenal… incluso tienen menú vegetariano, aunque tienes que pedirlo, no sé por qué (como si se avergonzaran de tenerlo). Nadie debería marcharse de Madrid sin probar su arroz con verduras y salsa de soja. En definitiva, una gran experiencia. Además el hotel es dog friendly!!! Apoyemos estos hoteles. No des tu dinero al hotel que no acepta a tu perro. —————- Fantastic hotel, which I had not visited yet. The stuff are super friendly and attentive, our room was very good, with a view to the fountain of Neptuno. I found walking in the hall very impressive , it is lovely. And I totally recommend the breakfast buffet, under the mithical dome: it is 45€ but they have everything and all extremely good. And they do not hassle you even if it is after 11h (closing time); if anything is finished (roasted courgettes) and it is nearly said time… they even ask you if you want it done!!! Amazing. Besides they have very few plastic containers, which is very ecological and which I value very much. The lunch and dinner menu is great… they even have vegetarian menu, although you have to ask for it, I do not know why (as if they were ashamed of having it). Do not leave Madrid without trying their rice with vegetables and soy sauce. All together a great experience. Dog friendly too!!! Let us support these hotels. Do not give your money to a hotel that does accept your dog.

Very quick check in. I am platinum with Marriott. I was able to check in at 9am (to my surprise) and room was available. I was upgraded to a suite which was nice. The hotel is being renovated but I did not hear much or any construction noise. Not sure if my room was upgraded yet. There was no outlet or USB charging next to the bed. The room was super spacious. The view out the window as the green dome over the restaurant. The westin location is a few minute walk to Prado and very close to Atocha train station. The buffet breakfast was superb. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Pros: - great location - excellent service by staff - the renovated rooms are good Cons: - non renovated rooms: on the first day I was given a non renovated room, which I found far below even a 3-star. Old, rusty furniture and wall - weird assignment of rooms: I checked in with a group of people, and I held one of the highest status among them, however I was not only not given an upgrade, but got assigned a non renovated room, with disabled access (i.e. bed was too low, carpet was smelly, i couldn’t fall asleep easily). The good thing is they very quickly corrected the situation by assigning better room (renovated, non disabled access) but had to take it the next day. The other people in the group got better rooms, so expecting status service is questionable. - no basic room amenities: no coffee machines in the room, no dental kit, etc. - breakfast food was subpar The hotel is undergoing renovations, so not all rooms are good (I’d rank them 2-3 / 5). The hotel is definitely a 5 if the above is fixed.

We were disappointed with our stay at the Westin Palace. The hotel is tired and desperately needs a thorough renovation. It does appear that some parts of the hotel are currently being refurbished. I would check that the entire hotel has been refurbished before considering staying here again. Our rooms were tired, with my pet hate - shower in the bath with a shower curtain. You don’t expect this in a 5 star hotel. The gym was only accessible via a long corridor followed by a narrow outdoor staircase due to the renovation. There were directional signs stuck on the walls that were peeling off. This hotel seems to be lacking care for its presentation and this also follows through into breakfast. Although situated in a lovely room with a beautiful glass dome ceiling, the staff were surly and it was difficult to get anyone’s attention as they were too busy setting up tables which could have been done before breakfast. It doesn’t help that each table has a tablecloth and the chairs are covered by silk/cloth covers. This is a waste of time in 2023 and takes the staff away from actually serving guests. The breakfast food was also similarly sub standard. Now to the positives - the check in staff were friendly and the location is convenient being close to the Prado, Museo Reina Sofia and the Gran Via shopping district. Avoid until evidence that this hotel has improved.

This hotel is one of the best hotels we've stayed at besides the Fairmont in Shanghai! The location is walking distance to the Mayor Plaza and Mercado San Miguel. Everything was so perfect from the cleanliness of the room and the pleasant staff. All amenities of the room was there--water, slippers, robe, real soap bars, and all! The food in the hotel was impeccable. Beautifully presented and prepared to perfection at every meal. Very difficult to do especially with lamb, tenderloin and scallops -kudos to the Chef! We ate breakfast and dinners at the hotel. The old fashion drinks at the bar was superbly prepared. I would give this hotel a 10 star if I could. I highly recommend this Westin hotel!

I am a Lifetime Platinum Elite member. I had messaged the hotel prior to our arrival to request an upgrade to a suite. I was assured that they would do their best to accommodate based on availability. When we checked in, Antonio in front desk flat out lied that they didn’t have any suites. I showed him the email exchange with the hotel and immediately checked the Marriott app and called his bluff and showed him the many suites that were available. He then begrudgingly upgraded us to a suite. The other issue we had was with the construction noise from 7 am. Complained to front desk and they were able to address my concerns. Not sure why they only provided Molton Brown toiletries upon check in on the first day. Those items were not replenished; instead, some other no-name brand toiletries were provided for the remainder of our stay. Loved the Chinese restaurant. Concierge was very helpful. Ditto maintenance when we complained about the air conditioning.
