21 Best Hotels in Madrid

"Located near Plaza Santa Ana, the stately NH Collection Madrid Palacio de Tepa looks more like an official government building than a hotel. Inside, the mood shifts forward a couple of centuries to snazzy décor and mood lighting. Upscale yet approachable, the interiors are a clever blend of old and new, and it all works beautifully. Guest rooms are minimalist and confidently unadorned—no knick-knacks or unnecessary decor, just the plush bed (with a cushioned headboard) front and center. For a glamorous old-meets-new hotel in a good part of town, this is an excellent choice." - Ramsey Qubein
