Madrid is one of our favourite city breaks in Europe, beloved for its cultural landmarks, vivacious art scene and beautiful restaurants. These elements are also present within some of the best hotels in Madrid, where you can stay in historic palaces, art-gallery-meets-hotel hybrids or in an unassuming address with its own Michelin-starred restaurant. Then there are the low-key stays, from new-gen hostels to neighbourhood apartment set-ups. And the scene is still growing – the Four Seasons and Mandarin Oriental – two of the newest luxury addresses in the Spanish capital. For the places to note, we’ve rounded up the best hotels in Madrid.
