What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Vincci Soho has given a contemporary new look to five historical buildings... and the resulting hotel offers a memorable marriage of classic architecture and modern interior design.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Tapas bars line Calle del Prado and Calle León, keeping the surrounding Literary Quarter lively well past midnight.
The rooms
Rooms across the five buildings are quiet and spacious, and select categories open onto balconies overlooking the neighborhood.
NoMad Restaurant
Mediterranean plates are served beneath a glass atrium hung with greenery, opening onto a quiet courtyard patio.
At the table
Breakfast brings fresh pastries set under glass cloches, and evening cocktails are shaken beneath the green-canopied carousel bar.
How it began
Madrid interior designer Alejandra Pombo overhauled the property in 2018, injecting dreamlike stagecraft into the centuries-old structures.
