LOCATION

Along the leafy, wide avenue, the hotel sits in one of Madrid’s most sought-after neighborhoods, Barrio de Salamanca. An exclusive area of the city and a residential district steeped in 19th-century opulence and timeless elegance. Chic shops, attractions, and nightlife are within easy reach. Retiro Park is a short walk, as are the surrounding metro stations of Velasquez, Goya, and Nunez de Balbon. 

This lifestyle hotel is close enough to the city’s most beloved museums (Museo Nacional del Prado, the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, and the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza) and 15 minutes away by car from Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas international airport.

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 exudes of 20th century style.

THE ROOMS

Each room is carefully designed to usher in comfort and a sense of space. With its wooden parquet floor, area rugs, dark green velvet sofas, and LED light fireplaces, it has the coziness of one’s very own personal bedroom with a posh twist. Superior and premium rooms deliver more living space, and higher categories come with balconies. All rooms are fitted with touches of modernity – televisions resembling virtual butlers at the 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 of a pillow menu. From goose feather to latex to viscoelastic catering to 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 welcome drink from the hotel

The Bless Hotel Madrid allows everyone’s inner hedonist to emerge and play and linger on for awhile.
The hotel is an exceptional introduction to how Madrileños live – celebrating life is a serious business. It gives every outsider the opportunity to step into that scene and not just 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.

  1. Now that I’m planning a long weekend in Madrid, this post came just in time. The hotel, with a lot of personality and charisma, seems to me to be very well located and with all the necessary amenities to offer guests a perfect stay.
    In a city like Madrid that has such a special “movida”, a stay at the Bless Hotel would certainly be the icing on the cake.

  2. We’ve yet to visit Madrid, but would really love to. The Bless sounds like a splendid place to stay. Intrigued by the concept of TV butlers. We love the idea of the cocktail lounge! And who wouldn’t enjoy some hedonistic merriment during their stay?

  3. I can tell you really enjoyed your time staying here by your writing. I love the idea of thespian glamour, especially in Spain. I also love a hotel with a pool!

  4. Ooh, what a fancy spot for a bit of a luxurious stay in Madrid. I love the roulette inspired ceiling above the bar, even more 007 than this place already felt. The rooms look magnificent, I could absolutely spend a couple days here, especially with a balcony room. What a view!

  5. Nice one, this is the kind of hotel I would love to stay in. It oozes charm and character and it is certainly not just “a place to sleep”. Madrid may not be the most sightseeing heavy city in Europe and therefore I would prefer a hotel that can complement that part of delivering an experience. Art, architecture, deign and class, what more could one ask for? Thanks for putting it on my radar!

    • I hope I didn’t over do it 😉

      I could see you both having such a wonderful time staying at The Bless – sipping drinks at the rooftop bar watching the sunset and the city come alive.
