Behind a magnificent Elizabethan facade lies a 19th-century palace converted into a hotel in the heart of Madrid. Inspired by the works of Velázquez, the famous Seville artist, the Palacio de los Duques is a canvas on which his brush strokes bring us closer to luxury and traditions, to serenity, and to the most traditional and authentic Madrid. Madrid is a city that never sleeps, and exploring all its corners and discovering all its history and experiences can take a lifetime. Palacio de los Duques Gran Meliá, a member of “The Leading Hotels of the World”, located in what was once one of the most important convents in Europe in the 13th century, is the perfect base for exploring this vibrant and exciting city: comfortable and sophisticated rooms, elegant historic gardens, fantastic views from the rooftop and a delicious journey through local cuisine.
