Rosewood Villa Magna is pleased to share that it has been recognized on Travel + Leisure's esteemed 2022 It List. Selected by their distinguished editorial team, the 2022 Travel + Leisure It List recognizes the 100 most unforgettable new and reimagined properties in 35 countries worldwide. Over the past year, Travel + Leisure sifted through hundreds of new and renovated properties across the globe, which were then narrowed to just 100 in total.
The list, now in its 17th year, features hotels and resorts located around the globe and underscores the travel industry's resiliency, creativity, and standout hospitality. Rosewood Villa Magna, along with the other winning properties, is sure to inspire wanderlust and offer travelers more reason to get out and explore the world as it opens once again.
“We’re truly honored and humbled to be recognized by Travel + Leisure as one of the best new hotels in the world,” said Laura del Pozo, Director of Public Relations and Communications. “With the property relaunch earlier last year as the brand’s first foray into Spain, we’re ecstatic with the overwhelmingly positive response we’ve received. With Villa Magna taking on the true ethos of the Rosewood Hotels and Resorts brand, we must credit this distinction to the passion and dedication of our associates in providing the utmost level of service to our guests.”
Marking Rosewood Hotel & Resorts’ debut in Spain, Rosewood Villa Magna is located on Madrid's most coveted boulevard, Paseo de la Castellana, amidst the city’s finest shopping, dining and cultural attractions. The historic property has been a beloved local landmark since it originally opened in 1972, evoking a convivial spirit and charm that captivated visitors from both near and far. Newly infused with a dynamic design scheme that honors the original hotel and the vibrant city while simultaneously incorporating contemporary style and comforts, as well as elevated amenities, world-class gastronomic experiences and an unmatched standard of service, the revived Rosewood Villa Magna was conceived to usher in a new phase of ultra-luxury hospitality to the city of Madrid and Spain at large.
