Palacio de la Margarita: meetings and offsites with accommodation in the Sierra de Guadarrama

The Palacio de la Margarita is a late 19th-century building on an estate of more than 35 hectares with century-old trees in Collado Villalba, in the Sierra de Guadarrama. It has a 33-bedroom hotel with mountain views and hosts events for up to 500 guests with catering by QuilicuáNOC. It is part of the Marca Condal venue selection in Madrid.

What events does the Palacio de la Margarita suit?

It is an unusual format near Madrid: a mansion with its own hotel on a large estate in the mountains. You can meet, house and feed a mid-sized group without leaving the grounds. It is part of the Marca Condal venue selection in Madrid (Marca Condal is a company in our group).

We see it as particularly well suited to leadership offsites, one or two-day team meetings, short incentives with a night in the mountains, outdoor team building and gala dinners or company lunches.

Figures from the venue's commercial listing and Time Out Madrid (2023). Before we propose it, we ask for the current technical sheet with meeting rooms, capacities by layout and AV equipment.

Getting there

The estate is in Collado Villalba, in the Sierra de Guadarrama, next to the A-6. For groups, a coach from central Madrid is the easiest option. Villalba has a Cercanías commuter rail station, handy for attendees travelling independently.

Production tips

  • Check the minimum numbers. The listing mentions a minimum of 120 guests: confirm it for your format before you lock in a date.
  • Ask for the technical sheet early. Rooms, capacities by layout and AV need confirming with the venue from the start.
  • Plan for the cold. It cools down earlier in the mountains than in Madrid: arrange patio heaters or an indoor room for drinks in spring and autumn.
  • Split the accommodation. With 33 bedrooms, larger groups will need a second hotel in the area.

What pairs well nearby

The mansion fits a convention programme in the Sierra de Guadarrama, alongside El Escorial. Look at other unique venues or write to us and we will send you a proposal within 24 business hours.
