Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid awarded three Michelin Keys

Hotel is the first in Spanish capital to receive Michelin’s new highest accolade

Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid has been awarded three Michelin Keys. This makes it the only hotel in the Spanish capital to be awarded the highest possible accolade in Michelin’s new Key hotel accreditation scheme being rolled out this year. 

Under the scheme, three Keys represents “an extraordinary stay” offering “the ultimate in comfort and service”. In a press release unveiling the awards in Spain, Michelin described the hotel as “a Belle Époque palace that remains a crucial pillar in the Spanish capital’s hospitality scene. Its architecture – both inside and out – is nothing short of monumental”.

The hotel reopened in 2021 following an extensive restoration of the 113-year-old property. Among its five restaurants, Deessa displays two Michelin stars. The signature restaurant is overseen by Spanish chef Quique Dacosta and serves two menus, Historical and Contemporary, in the hotel’s Alfonso XIII room.

The hotel is located in what is dubbed Madrid’s “Golden Triangle of Art”.

Of the 300 properties reviewed by Michelin in Spain, only 97 were awarded Keys. To be awarded Keys, hotels are rated according to a set of criteria which includes architecture, service quality, personality, value for money and overall guest experience.
