Designer boutique hotel with vintage-chic rooms, fusion restaurant, and bar
"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
"Elegant yet approachable, this award-winning design hotel is centrally located to many of the city’s historic and cultural sights, as well as the trendy districts of Chueca and Malasaña." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"With its 19th-century palacio exterior—complete with an original bookseller’s facade next door—and British Colonial–inspired navy-and-white interiors by acclaimed designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán, the Only You Hotel & Lounge hardly seems like the urbane, grown-up sibling of Ibiza party staple Ushuaïa, although the name might give it away. And, while the exceptionally trendy bar and lounge hiding behind the bookshop windows (along with more than 30 kinds of gin and a live DJ) attracts a who’s who of cool Madrileños, it’s the thoughtful little touches that really give away the hotel’s decadent roots, such as all-day breakfast for guests and a 24-hour check-in/check-out policy. But the Only You stands on its own, too, planting its flag in the up-and-coming Chueca neighborhood. Distinctive decor includes a chinoiserie scene painted over the elevators, mirrored wall panels in both the restaurant and lobby lounge, and original exposed beams in some rooms. The restaurant would be a destination in its own right, on par with any in Madrid ’s cutthroat culinary scene, and the tuned-in concierge team has the hookup at all the best spots in town. The hotel will be opening a new wing with an expanded lounge, outdoor terrace, and new rooms in the fall of 2015."
"Only You, Chueca by Half & Twice. This boutique hotel somehow manages to be luxurious and not pretentious at the same time. The perfect location for a weekend getaway. And, it offers the added bonus of bragging rights. When you get home and someone asks you where you stayed, you can totally be like, “Oh, just a real-life 19th century pallazo. No big deal.”"
