A lavish townhouse in Madrid’s already elite Salamanca neighbourhood, Relais & Châteaux’s Heritage Madrid Hotel earns its aristocratic air thanks to a fine collection of Belle Époque antiques and artworks, set against Lorenzo Castillo’s lacquered wood and polychrome marble interiors. Pop a bottle of vintage champagne, take languorously long lunches at the intimate restaurant (governed by two-Michelin-star-awarded chef Mario Sandoval), and imagine yourself a Spanish patrician with plans in the city... which, of course, is right on your doorstep.

Antique details that you see elsewhere at Heritage Madrid Hotel are reflected in your room, such as porcelain lamps, art deco bureaus and parquet floors, while minibars are stocked generously with wine and champagne. Though our favourite might be the Junior Suite, which has a balcony overlooking Salamanca’s Calle Principe de Vergara.

John Crow’s non-fiction tome The Root and the Flower successfully unpicks the Spanish psyche by examining the country’s ancient, as well as its more recent past, from Roman Spain to Franco’s legacy.

Food and Drink

Top Table

Go for a corner table up on the rooftop for sweeping city panoramas.

Dress Code

This is no place for flip-flops. You'll want to look as elegant as your marble-and-mirrored surroundings.

Hotel restaurant

Mario Sandoval, third-generation chef of two-Michelin-starred Coque restaurant, is also at the helm of the hotel’s street-level Haroma Restaurant, providing locals and visitors alike with a quiet corner eatery serving indulgent cuisine. And in the summer, a seventh-floor rooftop terrace opens, offering views over the city's skyline. The confit suckling pig is Haroma’s signature, but for obvious reasons, we’re fans of Mario’s ‘lovers’ menu, for its shellfish ravioli with champagne and saffron sauce, and oysters with jalapeños and passion fruit. The pastry chef is something of a master, too, so leave room for dessert. 

Hotel bar

One of Madrid’s best-kept secrets is the rooftop terrace bar, where you're welcome to retire for elegant cocktails or a glass of vintage champagne.

Last orders

Breakfast at Haroma is 7.30am to 11.30am; lunch is 1pm to 4pm, and dinner is dished between 7pm and 11pm. The rooftop bar opens from 1pm to 11pm.

Room service

A reduced version of Haroma’s menu is available from 7.30am until midnight.

Spain

Heritage Madrid Hotel is in the Salamanca neighbourhood of the Spanish capital, within walking distance of many of the city’s major attractions.

Planes

Madrid–Barajas Airport is the nearest international hub, a 10-minute drive from Heritage Madrid Hotel. Taxis are readily available and cost about €30, or you can pre-arrange a transfer via the hotel for €100. You can also catch the metro from the terminals, which will take you to one of the following stations: Diego de León, a five-minute walk from the hotel; Núñez de Balboa, an eight-minute walk; or Avenida de América, a seven-minute walk away.

Trains

Madrid’s metro network is great for zipping cheaply and efficiently around town. If you’re heading further afield, Atocha railway station is a 10-minute drive to the south and Chamartín railway station is a 12-minute drive north. Both are served by Renfe trains from across the country.

Automobiles

Madrid’s public transport and strollable streets mean you’re not likely to require a vehicle, but if you do arrive by car, you’ll find valet and self-parking a one-minute walk away for €35 a day.

Worth getting out of bed for

Once you’ve spied the city from the Heritage Madrid Hotel’s rooftop bar, it’s time to get out there. Your immediate neighbourhood is Salamanca, where wide boulevards lined with 19th-century mansions are fronted by boutiques, jewel-box galleries (the Opera Gallery is a particularly notable stop) and a culinary scene that combines tradition with contemporary flair. 

Local restaurants

Dani García’s Tragabuches is an Andalucian restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and dinner that only takes walk-ins, and is well worth a visit for its crispy glass shrimp with fried egg and caviar, and cow and cuttlefish meatballs. Aarde restaurant looks further into the past, with African-inspired décor and menu featuring Josper-roasted ribs with cassava purée and black rice with scallops and crab. 

Local cafés

Hola Coffee, one of Europe’s acclaimed roasters, now has two outlets in Madrid. Although primarily a tapas bar, La Pescadería de Hermosilla is a sophisticated spot ideal for a polished mid-day pause with a glass of wine or light bite. 

Local bars

Madrid comes alive by nightfall, with some clubs and bars not really getting going until midnight. Chueca and Malasaña are at the centre of the party scene. In the latter, 1862 Dry Bar serves some of the city’s finest old-school cocktails. Closer to the hotel, Salamanca institution Ten con Ten is a stylish meeting place, where well-travelled guests wine and dine from an equally cosmopolitan menu.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this antique-laden hotel in Madrid and unpacked their Lladró porcelain and intricate abanico, a full account of their history-steeped city break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Heritage Madrid Hotel in Spain… 

Heritage Madrid Hotel is a Belle Époque fantasy, where an aristocratic version of yourself slips into silk sheets, sips vintage champagne, and lounges seductively in Salamanca. Drenched in velvet and marble, it’s a boutique hideaway masquerading as a nobleman’s townhouse — if that nobleman had a Michelin-recognised chef and a penchant for objets d’art, that is. 

Inside you'll discover large velvet benches, hand-painted wallpaper using 18th-century techniques, embroidered braided curtains and a showpiece green marble fireplace dating from 1830, as well as a Louis XVI-style clock that hangs above it. The result? Old-world glamour with a dash of modern Madrileño elegance.
