Hotel ICON Casona 1900

Once upon a time

The ICON Casona 1900 boutique hotel by Petit Palace was founded by Mr. Juan Suárez Prieto, better known as "El Indiano". This adventurer from the late nineteenth century was a passionate traveller and foodie. He travelled to Mexico, where he made a great fortune, and spent a season in New York. Here he met F. Scott Fitzgerald, a character who greatly influenced him. He returned to Madrid at the beginning of the 20th century with an avant-garde and eclectic vision that he made reality with this exclusive boutique hotel in the Salamanca neighbourhood.
