Located in the heart of Madrid, the Villa Magna is a classic luxury hotel that attracts well-heeled travellers from across the globe. Sitting pretty between Paseo de la Castellana and Serrano Street, this is an area of the city known for its upmarket boutiques, museums and aristocratic palaces. Surrounded by manicured gardens, the Magna provides a tranquil retreat from the bustling streets outside.

The facilities

Plentiful, as you'd expect from a five-star urban hotel. There's a choice of restaurants, one serving classic dishes with a touch of the century in the Restaurant Villa Magna, to authentic Cantonese delicacies at Tse Yang Restaurant. An extensive fitness centre, sauna, steam room and spa add to its charms. Business travellers are provided with nine versatile function rooms whilst the Lounge is perfect for an informal meeting over coffee.

The rooms

Each of Villa Magna's 150 guestrooms shares the same elegant, classic style as its communal areas. All have flat screen televisions, complimentary internet access and video conferencing facilities as standard.
