The Palace and the Ritz: 100 years of history

La Rotonda, Palace Hotel

When visiting a city, the first thing you need is somewhere to stay. But that’s not what this post is about. Yes, the Palace and the Ritz are two hotels. Two centrally-located, comfortable, exclusive, classic, punctilious and perfect establishments. But the aim of this post is to help us understand why these two emblematic hotels, both located on Paseo del Prado, one directly opposite the other, have been such an integral part of Madrid for over 100 years.
