The Ritz that Alfonso XIII had built in 1910 because Madrid had nowhere fit to put visiting heads of state, closed for a four-year restoration and reopened in 2021 under Mandarin Oriental.
It sits on the Plaza de la Lealtad between the Prado and the Retiro, which is the most valuable address in Spain for a city wedding: guests walk to three of the world’s major museums and the whole party sleeps in one building.
The Salón Real is the room.
It runs 296 square metres, 20.5 metres long under a five-and-a-half metre ceiling, with a parquet floor inlaid with the hotel’s crest and tall windows looking toward the Prado.

Asked along the way.
How many guests fit in the Salón Real?+
The hotel publishes 240 for a ceremony, 230 for a banquet on round tables and 350 for a cocktail reception, in a room of 296 square metres measuring 20.5 by 12 metres under a 5.7-metre ceiling.
Is there an outdoor space?+
There is a garden terrace off the ground floor for drinks, but this is a city hotel on a public square, so the ceremony and dinner are indoors and the late part of the night stays inside for noise reasons.
Can we hold a legal ceremony at the hotel?+
A civil ceremony in Spain is normally conducted by a registrar or notary, and non-residents face a residency and paperwork requirement that takes months. Most foreign couples marry legally at home and hold a symbolic ceremony at the hotel.
What does a wedding here cost?+
The hotel quotes on the room, the season and the menu and publishes a wedding brochure rather than a tariff. Madrid city weddings at this level generally run above €300 a head once venue, menu and drinks are combined, which is our estimate, not a quote.
How do guests get there?+
Madrid Barajas (MAD) is about 25 minutes by road with the widest long-haul network in Spain. Atocha station is a ten-minute walk, so guests can come in on the AVE from Barcelona, Seville, Valencia or Málaga without a transfer.
