Historic 1880 Villa | Exceptional Boutique Hotel Opportunity in San Lorenzo de El Escorial
Engel & Völkers presents this exceptional historic recreational villa dating back to 1880, completely restored in 2022, representing a unique opportunity to develop an exclusive boutique hotel, luxury accommodation or high-end hospitality concept in the heart of San Lorenzo de El Escorial.
The property comprises 2,186 m² of built space and approximately 2,000 m² of usable interior space, set within a spectacular 3,100 m² plot designed as a botanical garden, featuring unique tree species and an exceptionally beautiful natural setting. Its configuration, scale, number of rooms and generous communal areas make this property a particularly attractive asset for a high-end hospitality project, with the potential to create a unique and highly distinctive boutique establishment.
A unique asset for the hospitality sector
The villa currently features 14 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms, with the possibility of accommodating up to 20 rooms, making it particularly well suited to an exclusive boutique hotel, luxury accommodation, tourist residence or private hospitality project.
Its generous dimensions also allow for a variety of operating models, combining accommodation with spaces dedicated to dining, wellness, private events, gastronomic experiences or extended stays.
The property incorporates numerous facilities that add significant value to a potential hotel project, including a gym, wine cellar, laundry area, storage rooms, ski storage, lift, accessibility features and extensive communal areas, together with an impressive living room featuring a fireplace and large windows opening onto the terrace, as well as a fully equipped kitchen.
Outside, the botanical garden is one of the property's main distinguishing features. The grounds include a heated infinity pool, terrace and extensive landscaped areas, creating an exceptional setting for a hospitality concept centred around privacy, nature, wellness and exclusivity.
The property also benefits from an unusually generous parking capacity, with covered parking for up to 8 vehicles and additional space for a further 6 vehicles within the grounds.
Strategic location
Its privileged location on Monte de Abantos combines privacy and natural surroundings with exceptional proximity to the main attractions of San Lorenzo de El Escorial.
The property is located just 2 minutes' walk from Real Club de Golf La Herrería and the Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, and only 5 minutes from the town centre.
This location makes the villa particularly attractive for a boutique hospitality project aimed at both the domestic and international markets, benefiting from the cultural, historical, natural and tourism appeal of San Lorenzo de El Escorial, together with its proximity to Madrid.
There is also the possibility of significantly expanding the project's outdoor area through the acquisition of an adjoining urban plot of approximately 3,300 m², opening up further possibilities for the future development of the asset, subject to applicable planning regulations and the relevant authorisations.
A project with multiple possibilities
Thanks to its architectural character, scale, layout, potential number of rooms, outdoor spaces and existing facilities, this property offers an exceptional foundation for the creation of a high-end boutique hotel or exclusive hospitality concept, allowing a future operator to develop a distinctive offering in an area of outstanding historical and natural value.
The property also holds a hotel licence, an especially significant advantage for an investor interested in operating the property as a hospitality asset. The planning status, licence and operating conditions should be verified by the prospective investor and their advisors prior to entering into any transaction.
Current terms
The property is available immediately and is currently offered for long-term rental at €18,000 per month, unfurnished.
The tenant is responsible for utilities, waste collection tax, and garden and swimming-pool maintenance.
The rental terms require one month's deposit and a first-demand bank guarantee equivalent to one year's rent.
Given its unique character, scale and location, this villa represents an exceptional opportunity for a hospitality operator, investor or specialised group seeking to develop an exclusive boutique hotel project in one of the most emblematic locations in the Madrid region.
