The World's Best destination edit · Spain
Grand rooms, generous tables and a city that comes fully alive after dark.
Madrid’s hospitality is warm rather than formal, whether in a historic palace hotel or a dining room built around the pleasure of staying late.
The Madrid edit
Begin with two addresses that capture Madrid at its most distinctive.
The stay
Hospes Puerta de Alcala occupies a nineteenth-century building by Plaza de la Independencia, bringing a spare but comfortable contemporary interior to central Madrid. Its 41 rooms favour efficient modern bathrooms and generous beds over ornament, while dedicated wellness and fitness spaces sit beside dining and drinks; the Salamanca address keeps the surrounding city immediately available.
