17 Dreamy Hotels in Madrid Quietly Redefining Spanish Luxury

Designed as a kind of contemporary bohemian retreat, Nômade Temple Madrid is structured around the idea of ​​”Halfway to Somewhere,” which can be translated into a desire to foster encounters between travelers, artists, neighbors, creators, and the local community. There are 93 rooms and suites—including two penthouses—within the hotel, all decorated with plenty of personality. Forget rustic minimalism: you’ll find wallpaper, mirrors, brightly colored sheets, and vintage-inspired pieces mixed with bold contemporary silhouettes. The property is more than its rooms, though—guests can enjoy the rooftop bar and pool, a speakeasy and a nightclub, and carefully curated cultural programming at Monopol of the People, a versatile wellness and gathering space. In the basement, GÖN House of Healing spa is the picture of understated elegance and staffed by an outstanding team of therapists who will make you forget you’re in the heart of one of the world’s most bustling cities. Café Libre, next to the eclectic and cozy lobby, is a space designed to make guests and visitors feel right at home. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy some tapas, a few beers, or a light bite, right on the street level. —Clara Laguna
