Located in Madrid’s financial district, this Azca apartment, awash with earthy colours and natural materials, makes for a calm and restorative base after a day of meetings. Situated in the heart of the business hub, you’ll find exclusive restaurants where you can entertain clients whenever you’re not jumping on zoom calls in your light-filled apartment. The calm and neutral-hued living space is a peaceful spot for emails, or settle on the terrace for a breezy workstation – when you’ve hit send on that last email, enjoy after-work cocktails in one of the neighbourhood’s upscale bars. When work isn’t on the agenda, you can spend days sampling the city’s diverse tapas restaurants, admiring modern works in the Museum of Contemporary Art and evenings soaking up the culture with a concert at the National Music Auditorium. When you return home to your sumptuously stylish apartment, enjoy a glass of wine out on the balcony, or sink into the plump linen sofas under the glow of the pendant lamps.
