Hotel Alfonso XIII

• T+L 500 Winner

COST: $$$$$

In 1928, King Alfonso XIII of Spain commissioned what he hoped would be the most luxurious hotel in Europe. With 147 rooms and miles of marble, mahogany, and hand-painted tiles, the results couldn't have been disappointing. Find yourself in the bar after a bull fight for some excellent people watching with the locals.
