Parul Yadav Instagram – Built over a period of 18 months, The Palace was the first hotel in Spain and the famous glass-domed lounge (which I’m clearly in awe of 😍) was used as an operating theatre during the Spanish Civil War, due to the abundant natural light. Few notable guests of the hotel during its first few decades were #IgorStravinsky, #PabloPicasso, #MarieCurie, #MataHari, #JosephineBaker, #BusterKeaton, #RichardStrauss, #FedericoGarcíaLorca, #LuisBuñuel and #SalvadorDalí. #TheWestinPalace #HistoryInspiresMe #PYTravelDiaries #Happiness #PYTravels #WestinPalaceMadrid #EuropeanVacation #MadridMonumental #ClassicalBuilding #ClassicalArchitecture #Luxury #LuxuryHotel #Madrid #Spain #BeautifulHotels #BeautifulDestinations #VisitSpain #HistoricBuildings #MonumentalEurope
