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.

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.
