Our history
70 years of glamour, elegance, luxury and stars
70 years of glamour
The Wellington Hotel & Spa Madrid, a listed and protected building within Madrid's architectural heritage, was inaugurated on April 19, 1952, a year characterized by the entry of Spain into UNESCO and the beginning of Elizabeth II’s reign.
With the inauguration of this hotel, Mr. Baltasar Ibán Valdés, businessman from the world of transport and founder of the Lidia bull ranch that bears his name, made his dream of opening a five-star hotel in the Spanish capital come true.
The construction of this building was commissioned to architect Luis Blanco Soler in 1944. With said construction, an important hotel project commenced in a country that was still reeling economically and socially from a postwar era.
After the first years in which the hotel started operations, such was the demand that in 1976 in Velázquez Street, 6, the extension of the Wellington Hotel & Spa Madrid commenced. It was in the same place where until July 1936 writer and journalist Ramón Gómez de la Serna spent his last days at the famous Torreón before going into exile in Argentina.
