27 Best Hotels in Madrid

"Blink twice, and you might miss the entrance to this unassuming hotel, tucked away behind sliding doors on a polished Salamanca street. A marble staircase leads up to sizeable rooms and bathrooms, where windows galore open to the quiet garden courtyard or the main street in front. What sets this apart, however, is the Ramon Freixa Madrid dining room, which has two Michelin stars and the menu creativity to prove it—fallow deer loin with blueberry and pomegranate demi-glace or sole fish steamed in pine with its skins in cava wine, anyone? Make a reservation weeks in advance, otherwise, dozens of Madrileños will beat you to it. For those unable to secure a spot at the dinner table, never fear: the chef also oversees the breakfast spread."
