Nomade hotels pair with famously mellow locales, so Madrid’s Gran Vía might not be the obvious choice for the group’s brand of self-care and reflection. But urbanity gently enhances Nomade Temple Madrid’s wellbeing efforts: workout classes have juiced-up soundtracks, communal hammam sessions take on a sociable feel and running clubs are convivial jaunts. A culture lab, art exhibitions, and live music from the rooftop pool to speakeasy club are proof that a city stay can feel soulful, too.

Our favourite rooms

When it comes to a city stay, we like to be in the heavens, so Nomade Temple Madrid’s Penthouse appeals for its views over Gran Vía and alfresco Jacuzzi tub. If rooftop dips appeal, the Letras Suite and Letras Penthouse share a pool.

Poolside

The hotel’s seasonal rooftop pool (open 11am to 8pm) is slender, but has a privileged aspect — between laps, you can look out over a panorama of the city’s most-photographed streets and historic buildings.

Spa

Wellness at Nomade Temple Madrid feels very much like sober-curious clubbing: yoga and sound-healing sessions are soundtracked by DJs, sociable sessions are held in the hammam with infusions from the Alchemy Bar, Afrobeat dance classes keep you fit the fun way and a run club lets you meet and mingle on-the-go. All signature events are included with your stay, with a handful of highlights incurring additional fees. Treatments at the hotel's wellness space, Gön House of Healing, focus on the emotional and physical, running from herbal baths and Augustinus Bader facials to chi nei tsang massages, acupuncture and bonding rituals — experiences bolstered by spells in the sauna, cold plunge or 24-hour gym.

Packing tips

Pack for all eventualities: this is the sort of stay where, by day, you’ll be partaking in an Animal Flow workshop or networking in a hammam; then by night you’ll attend a launch party or let loose on the dancefloor.

Also

Origen Bazaar evokes a Moroccan souk, selling clothing, spices, delicacies, rugs, perfumes and handcrafted goods in a decadently dressed space.

Pet‐friendly

Pets aren’t allowed to stay at the hotel. See more pet-friendly hotels in Madrid.

Children

Younger Smiths (charged as an adult from 13) can stay, but they may be a touch too young for the dynamic socialising the stay offers. No extra beds or sofa-beds are available, but for a child under seven, sometimes a sofa can be made into a bed for a fee.

Food and Drink

Top Table

Our summer tip is private dining on Nomade Temple Madrid's rooftop, where (on request) a number of idyllic spaces can be set up with a sociable flow of cocktails and shareable light bites.

Dress Code

Ditch the activewear and dress like the deity the hotel makes you feel like.

Hotel restaurant

Swagged in velvets and brightened with colourful murals, dinner-only Guga is a global player, schooled in the art of Italian home cookery (especially pasta-making) and Argentinian-Uruguayan asado. Things get more avant-garde in the Monopol culture lab, where culinary activations and chef collabs are hosted; but there’s also a Mexican-leaning daytime menu of light bites (tacos, smashburgers, rice bowls), as well as a varied breakfast menu. Café Libre is the hotel’s laidback, casual eatery, which embraces the Spanish concept of tertulia: informal gatherings to discuss art, literature and philosophy. Deep conversations are carried out over lighter plates of mussels in mojo verde, truffle croquettes, beef empanadas, ‘bikini’ sandwiches and homemade cream puffs. And on the seasonal rooftop (open in warmer, summer months), you can graze on pan-Mediterranean eats: pinchos, dips, cheeses and olives as you gaze out over Gran Vía. True to the hotel’s creative nature, dining usually comes with a show, too.

Hotel bar

Both Monopol and Café Libre keep their salon-like atmosphere fluid with plenty of wines, cañas (small glasses of beer), liqueurs and spirits — the latter has dedicated vermut evenings. Head up to the rooftop for sundowners, so you can see the city’s most iconic buildings light up for the evening, perhaps while nursing a za’atar-spiced Paloma or classic mojito. Those who can keep pace with Spanish nightlife hours (bed by dawn, that is) can dance to DJs spinning vinyl till very late at speakeasy Say No More, which takes design cues from Spanish nightclubs of the Seventies and Eighties, dressed in deep reds and vintage newspaper cuttings.

Last orders

Guga serves from 7.30pm to 11.30pm, Wednesday to Sunday; Café Libre runs from 9am to midnight daily; Say No More nightclub is a night owl, open from 11pm to 4am; and the rooftop opens from 11am to 11pm seasonally.

Room service

Order from a selection of small plates, salads and comforting dishes such as smash burgers or katsu chicken curry; available around the clock.

Location

Address
Nomade Temple Madrid
Gran Vía 11
Madrid
28013
Spain

Nomade Temple Madrid’s impressive historic building (fittingly once the HQ of the Artists and Writers Association of Spain) sits at the heart of the city along the iconic Gran Vía.

Planes

International hub, Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport, is a 35-minute drive from the hotel. The hotel’s concierge can help to arrange transfers on request.

Trains

Madrid's main Atocha railway station is around a 10-minute drive away, and for zipping across the city, the Gran Vía (on Lines 1 and 5) and Sevilla (on Line 2) Metro stops are under a five-minute walk away.

Automobiles

You’ll only need a car if you’re planning to explore beyond the city; otherwise, you can easily get about on foot or by Metro and bus. There’s no carpark at the hotel, but if you have wheels, you’ll find charged public parking at Plaza de Pedro Zerolo, Centro Canalejas, 14 Calle de Alcalá and Plaza del Carmen, all within a 10-minute walk.

Worth getting out of bed for

Self-care is a large part of a stay at Nomade Temple Madrid, where wellness has a sense of fun and a sociable bent. Or if you’d rather laser-focus on yourself, enlist the help of the hotel’s journey planner, who can craft an itinerary of deep and spiritual practices designed to help with everything from astral alignment to connecting with your partner or liberating your voice. For the culturally inclined, Monopol Lab is a wild card — as the hotel’s arts hub, its function changes from day to night and diverse talents visit to showcase their work, play music, present talks or screen films.

There’s a lot going on beyond the hotel, too — the super-central location puts Madrid’s Art Triangle (comprising the Prado, Thyssen-Bornemisza, and Reina Sofía museums), Plaza Mayor, El Retiro Park, the Royal Palace and more within walking distance. But do also take a cue from the hotel’s literary past as the former home of the Artists and Writers Association of Spain, and wander through Barrio de las Letras, clocking gilded quotes from Spanish authors along Calle de las Huertas, doffing your cap to the Federico García Lorca statue and seeing what’s on at the Teatro Español or cultural institution Ateneo de Madrid. And in neighbouring Chueca, let the Museum of Romanticism sweep you off your feet with its 19th-century art and period elegance. 

Local restaurants

Bloved is cool, colourful and modern, and its menu covers the city’s greatest hits, with croqueta platters, pa amb tomàquet (tomato on bread), suckling pig and hand-carved jamón. If you’re seeing a show at the Teatro Real — or you simply want some culinary drama — head to Desborre, next door to the theatre. Chef Lucía Grávalos has crafted a menu that’s both nostalgic and cutting edge, with dishes such as aged quail in a carrot, orange and clove escabeche; or pumpkin-cream mille-feuille with rum toffee. And former butcher’s shop Sala de Despiece also has an experimental nature, serving the likes of sweetbreads in clarified cream and toffee, blowtorched tableside. 

Local cafés

If Nomade’s city-sanctuary feel appeals, Jardín Secreto Salvador Bachiller offers a bloom-bedecked haven and tearoom set atop its namesake upmarket lifestyle store. VNT Coffee Gallery, set in the concrete shell of a former electricity generator, is serious about coffee, but also about the art it exhibits and the fashion in its concept store.

Local bars

If you’re taken with the throwback styling of the hotel’s speakeasy bar, you’ll be a fan of Lolina Vintage Café, which looks like your grandmother’s living room in the Eighties, albeit a touch more stylish. It has a wide range of fruity mojitos and daiquiris, but we suggest leaning into the retro feel with a Campari. In Barrio de las Letras, Salmon Guru’s cocktails are as curious as its name, with delightfully discordant flavours, such as caramel, watermelon and tequila; pisco with mango, fish sauce and yoghurt; and drinks that have been aged in the sea.

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 stay with soul on Gran Vía and unpacked their yoga gear and dancing shoes, a full account of their break of cultured care will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Nomade Temple Madrid…

Nomade hotels have made a name for themselves by offering wellness therapies that expand the mind and soothe the spirit in the sort of locations you’d expect to experience them in: Tulum, Isla Holbox, Ibiza… Madrid, with its historic grandeur and bustling nature, might seem a curveball locale, too overstimulating for calming self-reflection, but Nomade Temple Madrid offers sanctuary even on super-central Gran Vía. 

That’s not to say it’s shut out all cosmopolitan influence: yoga sessions swap panpipes for DJ sets, Pilates follows a funk-disco rhythm, and communal hammam sessions become socialising ops with guests conversing over tea infusions. And the hotel is as invested in cultural inspiration as it is in your wellbeing; it has its own arts hub for talks, film screenings, exhibitions and more. Live music and performances entertain from the rooftop to the bar to the speakeasy club. And then there’s the hotel’s co-working space. You’ll feel your mind open in more ways than one.
