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 "An avant-9arde hotel with high quality furnishings, attractive lighting effects and numerous works of art on display. Well-equipped guestrooms with real attention to detail."
Rough Guide "Ultra cool, fashion conscious, five-star hotel offering a glut of designer rooms, a rooftop pool, summer terrace and “pijo” cocktail bar."
Concierge "Aptly named, this 21st-century crystal palace is all iron pillars, wall upon wall of glass, and remarkable art on loan from the Clos Archaeological Foundation."
Fodor's "This is the hotel that best conveys Madrid's new cosmopolitan spirit, with its stylish mix of authentic ancient artifacts and daring sophistication." Full review
Lonely Planet "The epitome of art-inspired designer cool... if money were no object, we would need a good reason to stay anywhere else." Full review

DK Eyewitness "The five-star deluxe Urban takes luxury to new heights with its clever design and attentive staff."
Time Out "This cultural treasure trove is a perfect counterpoint to the painfully hip surroundings... rooms sexily designed with teak and leather and what must be the coolest doormen in the city." Full review
Star Service "This place is a full-fledged combatant in the city's fierce and fashionable design war." Full review
