Since its high-end renovation, this hotel has become a masterpiece of modern design, blending Spanish heritage with the playful, avant-garde style of world-renowned designer Jaime Hayon.

Dining

Your culinary journey starts at the Somos Restaurant, where you can enjoy Mediterranean-inspired dishes with a contemporary twist while looking out over the bustling Gran Vía. For a more relaxed vibe, head to the Garra Bar on the ground floor; it’s widely considered one of the most stylish spots in the city to enjoy a vermouth or a creative cocktail. You can choose from Bed and Breakfast or Half Board meal plans to suit your city break pace. The breakfast buffet is a real highlight, featuring local specialities and fresh flavours to fuel your morning exploration.

Meal times are indicative and may be subject to change depending on the season.



Pools and Spa

Take a break from the city heat in the wellness area located on the 8th floor. You’ll love the indoor heated pool, which offers incredible views of the Madrid skyline through floor-to-ceiling windows. There is also a sauna and a steam room for total relaxation after a day of sightseeing. Please note that the use of the spa centre, including massages and specific beauty treatments, may be subject to additional charges.



Beach

While Madrid is located in the heart of Spain and does not have a beach, you are perfectly placed to enjoy the city’s many parks and outdoor terraces. The nearest coastal beaches are approx. a 3.5-hour train journey away in Valencia, making this the ultimate urban escape rather than a seaside retreat.



Sport and Entertainment

If you like to stay active, you can make use of the fully equipped gym which is open 24 hours a day for your convenience. The hotel frequently hosts local DJ sets and live music in the lobby bar, creating a sophisticated and energetic atmosphere for your evening drinks. The unique layout of the hotel means you’ll find plenty of "Instagrammable" corners, including the famous giant striped bear sculpture that welcomes you in the lobby.



Family Amenities

Families are welcome at this stylish retreat. You’ll find that the spacious room layouts and the option for interconnecting rooms make it a comfortable choice for those travelling with children. The central location means you are within walking distance of many kid-friendly attractions, including the beautiful Sabatini Gardens and the interactive museums of the city centre.

“An Outstanding Stay at Barceló Torre de Madrid – Highly Recommended”

Everything about our stay at Barceló Torre de Madrid was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail of the entire team. The front desk staff were welcoming and helpful, the housekeeping service was excellent, and the rooms were spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. The breakfast was fantastic, with a great variety of delicious, high-quality food. The restaurant and bar were equally impressive, offering excellent food, drinks, and outstanding service. The hotel's location is also perfect, making it easy to explore Madrid and enjoy everything this beautiful city has to offer. What truly makes this hotel special is its staff. Every member of the team goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome and comfortable. Everything — from reception and housekeeping to breakfast, dining, and the bar — was exceptional. **Without a doubt, one of the best hotel experiences we've had. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend Barceló Torre de Madrid to anyone visiting Madrid!** Thank you to the entire team for such a wonderful experience!

“Miserable time with the noise.”

My wife and I had a miserable 4 nights in room 504. The main problem was the noise in the room. Not only did the outside noise seem like the window was open, but (unbelievably) you could hear the metro trains rumbling every few minutes. The dining room 3 floors below was noticibly quieter but the windows were noticably thicker. To make matters worse the wifi in the room was unreliable, frequently crawling to a halt. To top it all, the international (English language) TV channels did not appear on the TV. Finally, the queue at breakfast for coffee was about 5 minutes every morning as the machine is slow and inevitably you were behind two people getting two cups. I would have given it one star but the staff on the door and at reception were very pleasant. There is no way I would ever stay there again.

“Beautiful design”

The hotel is very beautifully designed. The staff is very kind. The drinks at the bar are decent depending on who your bartender is. Unfortunately, one day while sitting at the bar, we had a female bartender who was extremely rude. The rooms were very nice. You can definitely hear the Bass from the club all night long. Overall, I enjoyed the hotel.
