Madrid hotel takeovers
From what I've heard ...
Ritz Madrid (currently Belmond) will become part of the Mandarin Oriental hotel group. MO will be doing (much needed) renovation through 2017. And just heard this morning that Villa Magna is to be managed by Ritz-Carlton. |
So would you recommend the le meridian in barca?

Quite a ride from Park Hyatt to LHW to RC. Doesn't sound too enticing.

Love the Ritz location. Fingers crossed with MO mgmt will become great again!

FYI, refurb on MO MAD isn't starting till middle/late 2016, hence why it'll take till 2017.

Who's the owner of the Villa Magna? Any info?

Any updates on the MO Madrid renovations? Looking at either Barcelona or Madrid for a February stay and trying to scope out my options.

I've been told by Mandarin to only book suites right now until the renovations hit their stride. Anyways, I've always thought the Westin - which is spitting distance from the new Mandarin Oriental - is a fabulous option. |

They've started renovations but it's going MUCH slower than anyone expected...not floor by floor (as most renos occur) but room by room. It's very room specific.

I have seen the Four Seasons is coming to Madrid next to the Sol square, is it also a takeover? I don't remember the history of this building there, and any news about when bookable? Westin is still my favourite in the town and I always got pretty good upgrades there.

Thanks for the info. Any ideas on what they're actually doing to the rooms that have been renovated? And does the comment to only book suites right now imply that the suites are already renovated?
EDIT: renovations at Mandarin Oriental MAD have NOT started. More info to follow. |
