In the know

Our favourite rooms

Go for one of the Deluxe suites overlooking Retiro Park and the Puerta de Alcalá – these have towering ceilings and a bathroom concealed behind a cunningly designed panel, making the room look deceptively open-plan. The four Duplex Suites have the best views of Madrid, although the bedrooms themselves are up in the eaves so the rooms don’t have the same high-ceilinged grandeur.

Packing tips

Everything’s so nearby even the highest heels won’t prove too problematic, so go all out with the glam footwear. That applies to men too; a lot of the places nearby will turn away chaps toting trainers.

Food & drink

Hotel restaurant

One of the stars in Madrid’s culinary sky, the hotel’s award-winning Senzone restaurant on the ground floor is a striking modernist space dominated by bright whites and charcoal tones. There’s an adjacent tapas bar too.

Dress code

Senzone’s definitely a venue for a wear-a-jacket dining – dress to impress.

Top table

In the summertime, you can fight the Madrid who’s who brigade for a street-side spot at the tapas bar. There’s no preferable table in Senzone, but up in the lounge bar there are a few high tables for two that overlook the hotel’s atrium.

Last orders

Dinner is available until the kitchen closes at 10.30pm. The Cafeteria Senzone serves drinks until 11pm.

Room service

24-hours.

Hotel bar

The hotel’s mezzanine lounge is an elegant oak-panelled affair, with leather Chesterfields, overhanging art deco reading lamps and modern art on the walls. You can also take drinks outside on the cosy wooden patio.
