In April 1952, amid great transformations in Spain, Wellington Hotel & Spa Madrid opened its doors. The first guest to sleep at the hotel left a message in the guest register that reads, “it is with great satisfaction that I sign this registry as the first Spaniard to stay at this magnificent hotel; a hotel comparable to the best in the world.” Owner Baltasar Ibán Valdés, a transportation businessman and the founder of a bullfighting breed that carries his name, had realized his dream of opening a luxurious hotel in Madrid. The fine establishment felt both local and universal, quickly attracting renowned guests from across the world.
Today, Wellington Hotel & Spa Madrid celebrates the vibrancy of life in the Spanish capital. Its central location allows for easy access to Madrid’s rich tradition of art, food, fashion, and culture.
