Hotel Santo Mauro

Madrid - Madrid

Luxury Hotel

Number of rooms: 37

Few hotels are able to offer sumptuousness and intimacy, tradition and modernity, but Santo Mauro certainly encapsulates all these.

Originally built in 1895 in the grand French classical style for the Duke of Santo Mauro, it is located in one of Madrid’s most elegant quarters and has been transformed into a luxury hotel. Santo Mauro has been called possibly the most Parisian building in Madrid, unsurprisingly so as it was designed by Louis Legrand and encompassed by a 1000 square metres Gallic style garden.

Inside, although the décor and furnishings tend toward the contemporary with their vibrant and modern colours much has been kept of the old palace, including Italian marble and ancient engravings.

The library is possibly the loveliest room of all and is now home to a fine restaurant. The old dancing hall, presently a meeting room is also notable and, like the library, leads out to the garden. Some of the rooms are duplex.

ll	Activities

Medieval Madrid:
Barrio de la Morería, where the Moors had their law-court, and arrive from here to three squares which characterize the medieval Madrid: Plaza de la Paja, the commercial center of this epoch, Plaza de San Andrés and Plaza de Cruz Verde.

Of particular interest are the Mudejar-style buildings, as the church of San Nicolás de los Servitas, the tower San Pedro el Viejo and finally Casa de los Lujanes at Plaza de la Villa.

The Madrid of the Habsburg-Epoch:
"El Madrid de los Austrias" is how Spaniards call the part of the city that was blooming when Spain belonged to the Habsburg-Empire. Under King Charles I, at the same time Charles V of the German Empire and the first of his family to reign Spain, the importance of Madrid grew, but it was Philip II who made it the capital. To visit the buildings of this epoch, mainly in Renaissance- and Baroque-styles, is perhaps among the most impressive Madrid has to offer.

El Rastro
