MAKE THE MOST OF MADRID
HERE’S another good of a reason to head to Madrid – to check in to the city’s newest sophisticated, contemporary lodgings.
The BLESS Hotel Madrid sits in the fashionable Salamanca area. With just over 100 rooms, a rooftop pool, bowling alley, spa and gym, and a gourmet restaurant, it’s sure to be the hottest spot in town.
Decor is suitably dramatic with many original features retained, such as Murano glass panels and marble floors.
Bedrooms come with parquet floors, squishy sofas and nods to their 19th century roots, such as headboards featuring hunting scenes and country landscapes juxtaposing beautifully with modern artwork.
Doubles from £236, room only. See blesscollectionhotels.com
