the attention to detail found within this city-center hideaway that makes it a sumptuous stay.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Plaza de Canalejas sits right outside, placing Puerta del Sol, Gran Vía, and the Prado Museum within a short walk.
The rooms
Calming palettes frame customizable bath lighting profiles, while upper-floor suites add private furnished terraces overlooking the rooftops around Canalejas Square.
The spa
Holistic cabin rituals and aromatherapy massages fill the dimly lit rooms of the Elysium wellness suite.
The gym
Cardio machines and free weights line exposed nineteenth-century brick walls inside the 24-hour fitness centre.
The soaking pool
A tiled hydrotherapy soaking pool rests beneath a historic brick archway under soft, warm lighting.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Sala de Mezclas serves Mediterranean dishes beneath tiered brass chandeliers, and La Botica mixes botanical cocktails at the fluted bar.
How it began
Set inside an 1880 landmark, the building once housed Álvarez Gómez, one of the capital's oldest and most revered fragrance houses.
