Madrid · Barrio de las Letras

Madrid's first grand hotel, gloriously reborn

Our take

Art deco glamour on the city's most literary street

Opened in 1886 as Madrid's first luxury hotel, the Gran Hotel Inglés has hosted poets, bullfighters and film stars. Today it pairs gilded mirrors and jewel-toned velvet with the easy warmth of a neighbourhood haunt.

Step outside and you're among the tapas bars of Huertas, with the Prado a short stroll through leafy streets.
