There’s no doubting a designer has been working their magic on this little boutique number, perched just a ten-minute stroll from downtown Madrid and boasting a private terrace. Designed by the Danish architect Eric Vökel, touches of fun and modernity greet you from the word go here – that statement wallpaper is a case in point. But elsewhere, interiors have been kept pared-back and contemporary, just how we like them. Sunny mornings call for coffees and lazy breakfasts on your large private terrace – there are sun loungers ready to soak up the Spanish rays, and thanks to its top-floor setting, it feels gloriously secluded. Or take things downstairs to the shared gardens and enjoy a morning dip in the Jacuzzi. When it’s time to get to know the authentic culture of Madrid, you won’t have far to go. Set right in the heart of the Golden Triangle of Art, the museums of Prado and Reina Sofía are less than a ten-minute stroll away. Then roll with the locals down at Madrid’s emblematic Retiro Park (five minutes on foot), brimming with ornate fountains, scenic lakes, and open-air cafes for mucho people watching. Or blaze a trail to another dazzling corner of the city... – the Metro is just a four-minute hop, skip, and a jump away.

Local guide
About Madrid
Sometimes overlooked for its coastal competition, Madrid is the beating heart of Spain in both geography and historic charm. Madrileños are welcoming and friendly but sophistication circulates the warm Iberian air. The Prado Museum draws big crowds who flock to pore over works by the Spanish masters Goya, El Greco and Velázquez. Then unwind in the 350 acres of Buen Retiro Park that was the playground of the Spanish monarchy...
