Kilometre Zero

This Is the Sleekest Hotel in Madrid - Hotels Above Par - Boutique Hotels & Travel

"Located steps from Puerta del Sol and Kilometer Zero in central Madrid, this five-star property offers a calm, design-forward refuge amid the city's historic landmarks. Designed by John Pawson and François Champsaur, the hotel pairs elegant, minimal interiors with intimate social spaces — a lively Lobby Bar with white U-shaped sofas, a pool table and back-lit wood bar, plus the Punch Room — while rooms feature neutral, luxe touches. Dining highlights include a Mexican restaurant by Enrique Olvera serving guacamole, ceviche and potato flautas alongside fish, pork and meat mains, and a rooftop restaurant helmed by Peruvian chef Diego Muñoz that serves tapas and family-style plates (papa rellena, ceviches) in a greenhouse-like setting with colored glass panels; cocktails and wines are curated by sommelier Julio Berluenga. The rooftop also contains the city's largest rooftop pool with panoramic views, 60 sunbeds and 10 cabanas, a lush terrace garden with a fireplace and a covered pergola — ideal for lounging or sipping cocktails — while a lower-ground entertainment venue, gym and spa (using Natura Bissé products) round out on-site amenities. Practical details include 200 guest rooms (177 rooms, 21 suites and 2 penthouses with ceiling windows and views of the Royal Palace, Almudena Cathedral and Gran Vía), complimentary breakfast for two with certain bookings, a range of booking perks (upgrade on arrival subject to availability, hotel credit, spa and shop discounts, early check-in/late check-out when available), and a typical starting nightly rate around $400; the closest airport is Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas (MAD)."
