Originally built int 1853, the Gran Hotel Ingles sat unchanged for 165 years to offer traditional design styles in Madrid, Spain.
The Rockwell Group recently completed a stylish head-to-toe renovation that kept the original structure intact while breathing new life into the lobby and all guest rooms. Offering 48 luxe rooms, each option is filled with comfortable furniture and bright aesthetics to create a home-away-from-home feeling. The lobby has a grand 20-foot ceiling that features chandeliers and the same leather, wallpaper, vintage postcards and marble themes that are seen throughout the guest rooms. 'Lobo 8' is the new in-house restaurant that serves traditional tapas and Madrilenian classics, including calamari sandwiches.
Travelers will be drawn to eat, explore and relax at the newly updated Gran Hotel Ingles for a one-of-a-kind travel experience.
