27 Best Hotels in Madrid

"Walking through the front door here takes you right into the middle of the hotel’s lavish bar, a real scene-setter with an eclectic mix of locals and its design, which weaves in Oriental rugs, brass lamps, vintage artwork, and contemporary Art Deco. Behind the library-like reception is SLVJ with a Japanese-Mediterranean menu accompanied by live music and dance. The clubby bedrooms are kitted out more like a private home than a hotel, with framed pictures, velvet sofas, and curious antiques at every turn; many have faux fireplaces and small balconies for peering over the smart Salamanca barrio—an area fluttering with labels such as Manolo Blahnik, Prada, and Tiffany."

BLESS Hotel Madrid

"Why did this hotel catch your attention? What's the vibe?BLESS Hotel Madrid is a buzzy hive of activity that's marked by the high-design glamour of bustling Salamanca. Doormen swing open glass doors to reveal an Art Deco bar and lounge with Oriental rugs, posh seating areas, Murano glass pieces, and a bevy of staffers ready to assist with directions, a drink order, or local recommendations. But you won’t recognize that this is a hotel until you find the path to reception, which is tucked away in a corner. What's the backstory?Converted from another brand, BLESS Hotel Madrid now operates under the Palladium Hotel Group and is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World. The interiors are anything but minimalist, with decorative books, framed art, and flashy accents. Overall, the vibe is eclectic, a thoughtful mishmash of lounge spaces, dining options (including Michelin-starred chef Martín Berasategui’s Etxeko), and comfortable rooms. Tell us all about the accommodations. Any tips on what to book?Rooms have hardwood floors with area rugs, massive beds with plump duvets, and residential touches like faux fireplaces and crown molding. All of the rooms have the word Deluxe in their title, but suffixes like Superior and Premium deliver better views and more living space. Studio Suites have clawfoot tubs; many of the larger suites—named, say, Bless Your Couture or Bless Your Divinity—have balconies and antique desks with flip-up mirrors. Mosaic-tiled bathrooms are stocked with Le Labo toiletries. Is there a charge for Wi-Fi?WiFi is fast and free. Drinking and dining—what are we looking at?Back downstairs at Etxeko, you’ll want to plan ahead if you want a table to enjoy Martín Berasategui’s Basque cuisine. With 10 Michelin stars over the course of his career, he's probably the most celebrated Spanish chef around. This is his first outpost in Madrid. It’s not every day that a chef with such credentials manages everything from the breakfast buffet all the way to the lounge and room service menus. And the service?Reception looks like an old-fashioned library, but the only thing you’ll want to check out here is your room key. Once you find the tucked-away front desk, you're greeted with smiles. An armoire around the corner hides all kinds of sweet treats, glasses of Cava, and fruit-infused water. What type of travelers will you find here?A hipster retreat, this hotel appeals to Spaniards (in the bar and lounge) and tourists (checking into the rooms) alike. What about the neighborhood?Salamanca is home to the priciest shops and some of the most expensive real estate in town. Colón and the Paseo de la Castellana are within walking distance. Is there anything you'd change?Traditionalists will find the entrance—through the bar and lounge—a bit disjointed. Luckily, the staff keeps a watchful eye to escort hotel guests toward the back toward reception. The idea is that you immediately feel relaxed and energized by the entertainment atmosphere (DJs often set up in the lobby). Any other hotel features worth noting?One floor below the lobby is one of the neighborhood’s most popular bars designed in New York speakeasy style; it has its own bowling lanes popular with the after-work crowd. The hotel also features virtual training in the gym and Spain’s first Acqua di Parma barber shop in house. What's the bottom line?Prepare for something different, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised." - Ramsey Qubein

"BLESS Hotel Madrid is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World and sees itself as much as an entertainment venue as hotel. In fact, employees refer to themselves as “Pleasure Tenders” rather than reception or bar staff; it’s even on their name tags. The interiors are anything but minimalist, with decorative books, framed art, and flashy accents with a few 1970s twists. Overall, the vibe is eclectic, a thoughtful mishmash of lounge spaces, dining options (including Michelin-starred chef Martín Berasategui’s Etxeko), and comfortable rooms." - Ramsey Qubein

"Even against the backdrop of the regal city of Madrid, the upscale Salamanca district stands out. And it sets the scene for a hotel that’s no less elegant. Hotel Bless is a luxury boutique hotel of modern vintage, but its eclectic style isn’t purely modern — instead it’s an inspiring blend of contemporary design and historically-minded architecture and décor." - Tablet Hotels

We landed in Madrid and checked into this Leading Hotels property. It is located in a very nice neighborhood of the city and we like the quirky design of the rooms. Every room is different! So each time we stay, we are excited to see what kind of room we are going stay in as every room is interesting. Once we got a room with a bathtub next to the bed. Wonderful.

The Bless Hotel is a cute boutique hotel in a great neighborhood. Check-in was smooth, the concierge recommended great spots and were able to secure last minute tickets. The room itself was ok, not well lit, with a colomn running through the room. The second level got a bit noisy from the bar downstairs. The bathroom situation is not the best. The curtains in the bathroom are see-through, too much light especially during the middle of the night when one wants to use the facilities. The housekeeping staff were by far the friendliest and attentive and kept the room tidy. Everyone else was just ok. SLVJ at night is vibey and great dinner options (sushi). Breakfast buffet was ok, not worthy. Overall, I would recommend the hotel 4/5. For the neighborhood and listing on several sites the value is ok. I recommend a higher floor.

Everything was perfect. The staff stand out as one of the best I ever met. They are all so helpful, from the moment I checked in till I left everyone was fantastic. The front desk, the concierge, the breakfast staff, the bell captains, everyone was amazing. Any request I had was handled in minutes. The hotel is a lovely cozy and warm hotel. Facilities are great, the hotel is well kept and the location is perfect. I am already recommending it to ANYONE I know going to Madrid. I really can’t wait to go back.

Didn't want to leave the hotel before writing my review just so I don't forget how pleasant the whole crew made our trip. I've been to Madrid so many times and I can easily say that this time is by far the best time. Location is just perfect, walking distance to everything you'd need, in the heart of Salamanca. The Staff were extremely helpful and went above and beyond to make our trip easy and memorable. (Customer's manager, cleaning lady, breakfast team, lobby waiters, doormen, etc..). Breakfast was on point. It's my first trip with a toddler, had so many concerns before coming, but thanks to the hotel team it was amazing.

I’m giving Bless Hotel Madrid a five-star review, not because everything went perfectly (it didn’t), but because of how the situation was handled. We were in Madrid for a business meeting and encountered an issue with our room that required us to be moved. In reality, very rarely does everything go 100% according to plan when traveling. What truly deserves five stars is the way the team stepped up to resolve the problem. Carlos, the Concierge Manager, took control immediately and handled the situation with professionalism and calm. Jaime- reception and Paula at the concierge desk made sure all our details were taken care of seamlessly. A special thank-you also goes to Sandra at the rooftop restaurant, who delivered outstanding service. Many thanks to all the staff at the Bless Hotel—your approach to service made all the difference.

Bless Hotel Madrid was just…okay. While the lobby (and its restaurant) is beautiful, the check in and wait staff are kind, and the location is perfect for exploring Madrid, I would not categorize this hotel as 5 star. A 5 star hotel must get the basics correct - frankly, perfect - in this instance the condition of the room did not live up to this test. Our room had immense water damage in the bathroom which resulted in cracked shower floors, a warped ceiling, and, most concerning, an overpowering sewage smell. Further, during our stay, the bathroom’s sinks drained quite slowly, requiring attention from the maintenance staff. It’s unfortunate as avoiding these problems should be seen as the brilliant basics for a hotel that wants to be categorized as a luxury, 5-star establishment - these are items that visitors should not have to encounter at any hotel. The staff did their best to provide quick fixes to these issues (spraying the room, unclogging drains); however, ownership would be well suited moving expenses away from the pretty and picture-worthy towards what guests will always pay for - well-functioning, clean rooms. I will not be back. I also would not recommend this hotel to others. Time was dedicated to the details - just the wrong ones.

Amazing hotel! Staff, location and ambiance all a 10 out of 10! Loved every minute and would definitely return. We loved the lounge area and the gym/spa. The rooms were extremely spacious and the bathrooms were large and very nicely designed.
