It reflects the passion, dedication and thoughtful attention to detail of the entire Rosewood Villa Magna team, whose commitment is centred on creating personal and memorable experiences for every guest.

A PRIVATE RESIDENCE IN THE HEART OF MADRID

Set along the prestigious Paseo de la Castellana, moments from Calle Serrano and some of Madrid’s most renowned museums, boutiques and cultural landmarks, Rosewood Villa Magna offers an exceptional way to experience the Spanish capital.

Conceived as a refined private residence in the heart of the city, the hotel brings together contemporary design, serene landscaped gardens and a distinctive sense of place. Its 154 rooms and suites, including a collection of exclusive Houses, offer elegant and welcoming spaces where sophisticated design is complemented by warm and highly personalised service.

The experience extends to a carefully curated culinary offering that celebrates Spain’s rich gastronomic culture, together with Sense, A Rosewood Spa, an urban sanctuary dedicated to wellbeing, restoration and renewal.

Each element embodies Rosewood’s guiding A Sense of Place® philosophy, inviting guests to connect authentically with the history, culture and character of Madrid.
