The Palacio López-Dóriga is located at number 15 of the paseo de Recoletos in Madrid. The building was designed in 1872 by the architect Francisco de Cubas. It is an urban palace situated between side walls, adjacent to the Marquis of Alcañices palace, also by the same architect.
The property is currently owned by José Lladó, president and main shareholder of Técnicas Reunidas. It was acquired from Vía Célere for 20 million euros in 2014. Built in the second half of the 19th century on land that was formerly garden and huerta, the palace features a ground floor, a noble floor, and an upper floor topped with a balustrade.
The entrance door is located on one side to provide space on the ground floor for the former exchange house managed by Francisco López Dóriga. The building was rehabilitated by Rubén Moreno and Javier García-Izquierdo, with the collaboration of Florentino Moretón. The rear of the building, featuring a hammer-shaped floor plan, was constructed in 1940.
