Rosewood Villa Magna has been named the No. 1 City Hotel in Europe and the No. 1 City Hotel in Madrid in the prestigious Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards 2026, further establishing the hotel as one of the world’s leading destinations for ultra-luxury hospitality.

This double recognition is particularly meaningful as it reflects the votes of Travel + Leisure readers—discerning travellers from around the world who share their experiences and select the hotels, destinations and travel experiences that have left the greatest impression.

Alongside its leading positions in Europe and Madrid, Rosewood Villa Magna was also ranked No. 47 among the best hotels in the world, achieving an exceptional score of 98.67 out of 100.

INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION FOR EXCEPTIONAL HOSPITALITY

Now in its 31st edition, the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards gathered more than 661,000 votes from readers across the globe. The awards celebrate properties that create truly remarkable stays through intuitive service, distinctive design and a meaningful connection to their destination.

Being recognised as the best city hotel in Europe and Madrid represents far more than an acknowledgement of location or design. 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.

CELEBRATING AN EXCEPTIONAL TEAM

The recognition from Travel + Leisure is, above all, a celebration of the people behind every stay. From the moment of arrival to the smallest personal gesture, the Rosewood Villa Magna team is dedicated to delivering hospitality that feels intuitive, generous and genuinely human.

This achievement belongs to every associate whose passion and dedication continue to elevate the standards of ultra-luxury hospitality and transform each visit into an enduring memory.

Being named the best city hotel in Europe and the best hotel in Madrid is both an extraordinary honour and an inspiration to continue creating meaningful and exceptional experiences in one of the world’s most vibrant cities.
