HOTEL VILLA MAGNA
Given its unassuming granite façade, and its location only steps away from the exclusive Serrano and Ortega y Gasset shopping area, one would hardly suppose that Villa Magna’s top floor holds arguably the two most luxurious suites in Spain.

HOTEL PUERTA AMERICA
Hotel Puerta America is more of an architectural museum than a hotel.
Costing an estimated $100 million and taking three years to construct, each floor is the conception of a different world-famous architect, with contributions from Zaha Hadid and Ron Arad. In total, nineteen architecture and design studios were involved from thirteen different countries. Hotel Puerta America sits off the beaten track from many other luxury hotels, but is a convenient five miles from the Madrid-Barajas airport and one mile from the Auditorio Nacional de Música.
TOP SUITE PRESIDENTIAL SUITE
Why we love it: The contemporary and avant-garde presidential suites were designed by Jean Nouvel. These suites have a sliding panel system which enables guests to act as architect and restructure the space within the suite according to their own needs. Abstract photography by Roland Fleisher adorns the walls and ceilings, giving the impression that guests are sleeping beneath a turbulent Turner sky, and elongated windows provide panoramic views of the city lights. French Champagne, a VIP fruit basket and Oriol Balaguer chocolates are provided on arrival. Each bedroom has a walk in closet and light and window control panels and there is a guaranteed late checkout at 2pm. Supermodel Naomi Campbell and tennis ace Rafael Nadal have both stayed here.

HOTEL ÚNICO MADRID
Nestled among Madrid’s most exclusive boutiques, Hotel Único’s décor is both grand and superbly executed.
Once a private noble home, the stark lines of the black and white checkered floor of this 19th century mansion are offset by the mirrored walls and large red ribbon art installation that cascades through it. The gourmet two-Michelin-star restaurant, led by chef Ramon Freixa, offers three tasting menus with à la carte dishes including turtle dove sausages and prawn cappuccino.

HOTEL URBAN
Unlike many other design hotels in Madrid, Hotel Urban carries a five-star Gran Luxe designation. Whether it’s the 18K gold tile lining the staircase or the Balinese sculptures next to the mini-bar, priceless art fills the rooms and the main areas.
The diverse artworks are consolidated by fearless interior design, with touches of black leather, steel mesh and chrome. Most importantly, the focus on unusual aesthetics is not to the detriment of the hotel’s luxury services, which are of the highest quality. For oysters and cocktails head to the Glass Bar. With its striking chandelier imported from Morocco and Philippe Starck’s transparent chairs, the bar has a fragile elegance and is a favorite among politicians and fashionistas.
