The Bar/Lounge at Santo Mauro, a Luxury Collection Hotel

"The garden serves as a bar by day, and at night in the summer months, guests can enjoy a candlelit dinner there"

"Everything about this recently renovated place oozes exclusivity and class, from the address – one of the elite patches of Madrid real estate – to the 19th-century mansion that’s the finest in a barrio of many"

"Amenities include an indoor pool and spa, a gleaming mirrored Art Deco bar, and perhaps the city’s prettiest restaurant—it's set in the duke’s former library and spread among three buildings in a lush and tranquil garden"

"The classic lounges, restaurant and bar have retained their original features, while regal grandeur mixed with cutting edge modernity abounds in the bedrooms, which have been stylishly decorated in soft dark colours"

"This highly distinguished restaurant occupies a stunning library lounge"

"The more subdued lounge has deep seating (down cushions), and the intimate and formal restaurant fills the grand space that was once the ambassadorial library"

"Everything about this place oozes exclusivity and class, from the address – one of the elite patches of Madrid real estate – to the 19th-century mansion that’s the finest in a barrio of many"

"There are two opulently decorated lounges where you can relax with a book or a cocktail (or both)"

"Renovated public areas include the Chinese and Red Lounges and a fitness center, sauna, Turkish bath and indoor mosaic-tiled swimming pool"
