Situated in Madrid’s sought after neighborhood and known for being one of the wealthiest areas of the city, Barrio de Salamanca is a beautiful, quiet residential district and a chic shopping destination of wide avenues lined with ornate façades that steeped in 19th century opulence. Retiro Park is a short walk as well as surrounding metro stations like Velasquez, Goya, Nunez de Balbon and Retiro.
CHARACTER & STYLE
The hotel revels in the spirit of thespian glamour, sensory architecture and hedonistic merriment – an extension of Madrid’s lifestyle. The lobby houses a cocktail lounge that is almost ‘007-esque’ and an all-day bar which opens up to the side street. The décor, the upholstery and the narrow circular staircase oozes of 20th century style.
THE ROOMS
Each room is carefully designed to feel comfortable yet posh. With its wooden parquet floor, dark green velvety sofas and a fireplace with LED lights resembling the glow of an old-fashioned fire, it has the coziness of a personal bedroom. The rooms are fitted with touches of modernity such as televisions resembling virtual butlers in a touch of a button.
BEDTIME ETIQUETTE
The beds are firm and comfortable equipped with sleep inducing Egyptian cotton/linen/silk sheets as well as a good selection on a pillow menu from goose feather to latex and viscoelastic soothing every lumbar needs.
KEEPING IT GREEN
The hotel has done away with plastic straws, uses glass bottles for drinking water and offer a digital copy of the in-room information by navigating the TV screen panels.

The Bless Hotel Madrid allows everyone’s inner hedonist to emerge and play and linger on for awhile.
The hotel is an exceptional introduction on how Madrileños live – celebrating life is a serious business. It gives every outsider the opportunity to step into that scene and not just to glance in from the outside. If you are the type of guest that gravitates towards lifestyle, food and dining, architecture and design and an over all happening atmosphere – this new ‘gato’ on the block might just be the perfect Madrilenian BLESSing.

“Thespian glamour, sensory architecture and hedonistic merriment”?!
The only thing missing seems an Oxford comma.
I hope I didn’t over do it 😉
