InterContinental Madrid
Frank Sinatra. Elizabeth Taylor. Sophia Loren. All legends who stayed at this legendary circa 1800 hotel. Ascendant starlets and glitterati of today still find the centuries old property as alluring as ever, thanks to sumptuous guest rooms where every luxury has been attended to. What the 236 square foot Classic Rooms lack in square footage they make up for handsomely with amenities, including zippy free Wifi, a coffee and tea station, a curated minibar, and glamorous traditional interiors, including elegant draperies, ornate wood crown moldings and antique-inspired furnishings. We especially love the splurge-worthy, 1,044-square-foot Dali Suite, which has a panorama over the buzzing sidewalks of Paseo de la Castellana; a fully separate living room; a second bathroom; kitchenette; and even a deep soaking tub with hydromassage jets…glamour, at every turn.
A dazzling and historic 302-room hideaway with an atrium restaurant, luxe spa (complete with a gold and pearl facial) and an iconic Sunday brunch.
Poorly serviced. Guests have all manner of perks on hand if needed, including daily laundry and ironing, private transfers, room service and even an on-call doctor 24/7.
You’re always seeking out the latest and greatest beauty treatments, and the spa here has a plethora of great options—including plumping vitamin C and oxygen facials.
You knew from the moment you heard the live music trilling that the hotel’s brunch would be the best in town, but you never expected this: abundant towers of prawns and lobster; Iberian meats; ceviche and paella; and some of the freshest sushi you’ve ever tasted. Did we mention the pastry master class for kiddos? Now this is living.
