If you’re unfamiliar with the Hospes Group, and have already assumed this is some kind of hostel-esque backpacker entry from the name alone, hold your horses. Boasting ‘paradise on earth’, you won’t find half naked cherubims hanging out at the bar, but you will enjoy the attentions of angelic staff and heavenly bedrooms. See what we did there? Seriously though, this is a proper five star affair set in a 19th century townhouse (think exposed beams, high ceilings and stucco work), which strikes exactly the right balance between comfort and style, complete with spa, restaurant and chill-out patio. Exclusivity is key; after all, they don’t let just anybody through the pearly gates, do they…
What others say
Tablet Hotels
19.0 of 20. The forty-one rooms and suites are an object lesson in contemporary luxury design, spare but not minimal, very short on ornament but nevertheless plush in all the right places. This, most notably, means highly efficient (and well-lighted) modern bathrooms and endlessly comfortable furnishings, including great heaping king beds (well, double-doubles actually, this being Spain and all).
Mr & Mrs Smith
Right beside the Puerta de Alcalá and on the northwest corner of Retiro Park, you won’t find a better placed boutique hotel in the Spanish capital than Hospes Madrid. Near the upmarket Barrio de Salamanca and nested in a network of boutique-rich streets, the hotel boasts towering ceilings, oversize wooden doors, and moody modern lighting. You come for the location, but you stay for the style.
