Hotel updates Espana!

Madrid continues to amaze as a capital of art, food, and architecture.......unfortunately the Ritz Hotel there needs a major update. Great location, amazing management, incredible old fashioned but delicious fine dining.....however the old girl needs a bit of a lift and we are not talking eyes only.

For some reason two of the other "Grandes Dames" in Spain have similar issues: the Maria Cristina in San Sebastian, close to Bilbao and the Basque Country, and the Alfonso XIII in Seville. The Alfonso is the biggest offender: not only does it need an update but the staff are surly and push the most expensive rooms. Least you think I am being too harsh this report has come from three different clients.
