Madrid’s Best Luxury Hotels Were Once Actual Palaces

"In vibrant Chueca, this One MICHELIN Key hotel blends old-world glamour, colonial charm, and bold, disruptive design: the maze-like first floor moves from El Padrino, a distinguished cocktail bar in the former library, to Celicioso, the city’s famous gluten-free bakery; within the 19th-century palace that once housed the Marquise of Alhama, soaring arches, wooden beams, blue-and-white tiles, marble, and ornate ceilings coexist with Jonathan Adler vases, Chesterfield armchairs, and futuristic lighting, while the top suite in the sky offers more than 65 square meters with a private terrace and sweeping views and, below, the immersive Thai Room spa draws on relaxation techniques from India, Bali, Hawaii, China, and Thailand." - The MICHELIN Guide
