LOCATION

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 20^th 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.
