Michelin Guide "Elegant public area and superb guestrooms."
Frommer's "This deluxe haven seriously challenges the city's other truly elegant hotels, including the sublime Ritz, for comfort, sophistication, and a touch of that old class." Full review
Concierge "It's understated, coolly modern, and deluxe, with all the... service a picky guest could ask for."
Travel + Leisure "Carved from a 19th-century Edwardian-style manor home, this 50-room hotel is steps from the city’s major museums." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Once a 19th-century palace, this luxurious hotel combines classic grandeur with ultra-hip design."
Time Out "With their palette of greys and browns, the rooms can seem a little dour and masculine after the frothy extravagances of the belle-epoque building in which they are housed." Full review
Star Service "This property is hands-down one of Madrid's best small hotels, along with sibling Santo Mauro, Adler and Hospes Madrid." Full review
Afar Magazine "Trendsetting and luxury themes remain. While the ornate neoclassical architecture has been lovingly preserved, the design team has complemented it with modern art and decor." Full review

Michelin Guide Star
"Behind this establishment's attractive, classical facade is a designer reception hall and an elegant social area."
Frommer's "It's located in a magnificent 19th-century Belle Epoque mansion, which has been tastefully renovated and refurbished with additional 21st-century accoutrements." Full review
Concierge "At chef Ramon Freixa's eponymous restaurant (which received a Michelin star), the amuse-bouche is actually ten different small bites, and breakfast consists of five different pastries."
Fodor's "Discreetly tucked away in the midst of the Salamanca shopping district, this is a gem of a boutique hotel. It's chic but low-key." Full review
Star Service "This hotel is certainly unique, but it is its distinctive service standards, in-room amenity roster, sedate, trendy interiors, and dining room, not necessarily its size that make it one of a kind." Full review
OysterLuxury
"A luxury boutique hotel in the well-heeled Salamanca neighborhood, the Hotel Unico is one of Madrid's most refined and exclusive stays." Full review
Afar Magazine "The Hotel Único isn’t fooling around, but it sure knows how to have a good time." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"Housed in an elegant 19th-century building, it is all about good design and great service with no daft gimmicks, which is a bit of a relief these days." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Step off the chicest shopping street in Madrid and into a cosseting world of 1980s-inflected glamour." Full review

The garden rooms avoid the faintest whisper of street noise but feature exhibitionism-inducing floor-to-ceiling windows in the bathroom that might be off-putting to some.
Mr & Mrs Smith "Royalty would feel at home in this gilded hideaway with its fine cuisine, decadent decor and elaborate sculptures." Full review
