Rosewood Villa Magna unveils design team and specialty restaurant

Rosewood Villa MagnaRosewood Villa Magna, one of the most anticipated hotel openings in Europe, will welcome guests in Madrid this fall, marking the arrival of the prestigious Rosewood Hotels & Resorts brand in Spain.

Rosewood Hotels & Resorts and Mexican hotel and real estate group RLH Properties, which acquired the property in 2018, have announced the design teams that will lead the property’s extensive refurbishment to create a modern oasis of serenity on the iconic Paseo de la Castellana boulevard. Further cementing Rosewood Villa Magna as a top destination for travelers and locals alike, the hotel is partnering with Michelin-starred chef Jesús Sánchez to launch a signature restaurant, Amós, timed to the property’s opening.

Four internationally recognized studios have been commissioned to manage the hotel’s complete refurbishment, which will convey the original allure of the former Madrid palace, while also reflecting RLH Properties´ and Rosewood’s contemporary spirit and commitment to residential design. Renowned Spanish architect Ramón de Arana is remodeling the hotel’s exteriors and striking façade, set to once again be a landmark on the city’s classic boulevard. The interior design is being led by BAR Studio, an award-winning Australian firm that has worked on projects including Rosewood Phuket and the upcoming Rosewood Rome, set to open in 2023. ArtLink, a United Kingdom-based company internationally acclaimed for its expertise, is curating the hotel’s contemporary art collection. Finally, Spanish landscape architect Gregorio Marañón is undertaking the important transformation of the property’s remarkable gardens. Rosewood and the design teams will bring the brand’s guiding A Sense of Place® philosophy to Madrid, whereineach property reflects the history, culture, sensibilities and spirit of each destination in all aspects of the hotel’s design and service.

The dining outlets at Rosewood Villa Magna will offer diverse food and beverage experiences in coveted settings such as vibrant terraces and lush gardens. Spanish chef Jesús Sánchez, recognized with three Michelin stars for his Cantabrian restaurant El Cenador de Amós, will lead the gastronomic offerings at the hotel’s new specialty restaurant based on the essentials of the Cantabric cuisine. Amós’ interior design will be overseen by Madrid-based Alejandra Pombo and takes inspiration from a traditional taberna madrileña – a style of restaurant particular to the old town of Madrid.
