History
Hotel Palacio del Retiro, Autograph Collection occupies a stately early-20th-century palace facing Madrid's Retiro Park, originally built around 1913-1914 for the aristocratic Oriol family (the Palacio Oriol) and later recognised as part of Spain's national heritage. Its interiors feature stained glass and a dramatic spiral staircase.
After a restoration led by Miguel de Oriol e Ybarra in 2002, the palace opened as the AC Palacio del Retiro hotel in October 2004, later joining Marriott's Autograph Collection. A refurbishment was completed in March 2024, and the hotel offers around 50 rooms across its historic floors.
