DISCOVER ONE OF THE LARGEST COLLECTIONS OF ART AND ARCHEOLOGY

The 5* Villa Real Hotel building is a classic in Madrid. Built at the end of the 20th century and designed by the renowned architect Fernando Chueca Goitia, it was acquired by Derby Hotels Collection in 1996 to become a small museum hotel that perfectly embodies art and elegance.

Its fascinating Art and Archeology collection
brings together a selection of perfectly restored mosaics from the Roman period and of Syrian origin, dated between the 2nd and 6th centuries AD. A catalogue of more than 100 pieces of ancient art, distributed throughout the hotel lounges, corridors, common areas and rooms.

CLASSICAL GREECE

The Villa Real Hotel houses a collection of Apulian vases from Magna Graecia, belonging to one of the most important private collections in Spain.

THE ROMAN EMPIRE

Several Roman sculptures from the 1st and 2nd centuries AD are of particular note, as well as some ancient mosaics from the early Christian period.

The artwork in the collection can be found in every nook and cranny of the hotel, as well as inside the rooms.
