Fodor's Expert Review Rosewood Villa Magna

Barrio de Salamanca's most distinctive hotel, which reopened in late 2021 under the Rosewood umbrella after a yearlong eight-figure renovation, is now one of the swankiest properties in Spain. What's new? Virtually everything—from the gold-edged facade to the sprawling lawns and gardens to the tranquil courtyard and marble-walled hammam. Guest rooms, which pop with patterned rugs and textiles, feature thoughtful amenities like a DIY gin-tónic kit with fresh rosemary and made-in-Madrid gin.
