Michelin Guide "The Tryp Ambassador has a stately atmosphere with an attractive patio typical of this exclusive district of the city."
Frommer's "The Ambassador doesn't feel like part of a hotel chain. It's far too individual and still largely resembles the elegant baronial palace it was." Full review
Time Out "Located in a former palace, the Ambassador manages to retain a vaguely baronial air despite being part of a chain." Full review
Star Service "This smart midrange hotel stands well above the Tryp Cibeles, occupying the renovated mid-19th-century palace of the Dukes of Granada." Full review

The 21 well-priced junior suites (twice the size of standard accommodations) are worth requesting for their superior decor, outdoor terraces, and quality finishes.
Condé Nast Traveler "Baroque flourishes scattered amid modern contraptions like bluetooth speakers and climate control touchpads. Glass-walled bathrooms, which can be shielded by curtains, are another striking feature." Full review
Wallpaper "Chicken wings roasted with fenugreek, the ever reliable suckling pig, cod tripe braised with chickpeas, and slabs of top sirloin that have been marinated for three months in a vinaigrette of meat jus." Full review

"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
