Located in the heart of Madrid, on the Paseo de la Castellana, the property will launch as Rosewood Villa Magna after refurbishment.
The hotel is close to the prestigious Serrano shopping district, and other well-known nearby landmarks such as the Golden Triangle of Art, Thyssen-Bornemisza and Reina Sofía Museums.
Currently, Villa Magna is closed as a precautionary measure due to Covid-19.
It will reopen on 1 September and operate independently until Rosewood takes over the management after refurbishment works are completed by late 2021.
