The big reveal: what to look forward to at the new Mandarin Oriental Ritz, Madrid

Q: What is your favourite suite, or the top one that you’d recommend?

A: We have 53 suites and each one has a special detail that I like. For instance, the new Ritz or Mandarin Suites have a private balcony with amazing views either to Museo del Prado or Plaza de la Lealtad. Then there are the Turret suites, which have a natural mica ceiling in the living room; mica is a natural mineral that reflects the light creating a unique glowing effect.
