Just above the famous Paseo del Prado rises Europe's most aristocratic and dignified hotel: the Ritz. It stands between two beautiful plazas: La Lealtad, filled with green elms and old magnolia trees surrounding an obelisk, and Neptuno, dominated by the exquisite fountain above the waters of which rise the mythological horses of Neptune's chariot. Its location alone constitutes a luxury. Between the Retiro Park and the Prado lies a district of Madrid possessing and entirely unique distinction and charm. Here, only a few paces from the hotel, is the Cas≤n, that nostalgic little palace which is all that still remains from the Palace of the Buen Retiro. The financial and commercial districts are also nearby and the Madrid's Stock Exchange building is located just across the street.
