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

"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

Michelin Guide "The restored exterior contrasts with a contemporary, colourful interior."
Rough Guide "Design-conscious hotel housed in an elegant, early nineteenth-century building."
Frommer's "One of the newer members of the eminently stylish Epoque Hotels... stands in the heart of the Gran Vía, enjoying sensational city views from its rooftop terrace." Full review
Concierge "Not overgimmicked, the 103 tricolor rooms have deep-rust walls, black chairs, and pure white bed linens, which suit the tastes of the hip young crowd who tend to stay here."
Lonely Planet "If you want to cause a stir in Madrid with a new hotel, make sure it has a rooftop bar overlooking the city." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This stunning design hotel has been built within a beautifully tiled 18th-century palacette right on Madrid’s main shopping and entertainment street."
Time Out "The new Hotel de las Letras laughs in the face of the current hotel vogue for teak and slate, and plumps instead for bold paintwork in red, orange and purples." Full review
BlackBook "A part of Epoque Hotels, walk into the renovated 20th-century building and you’ll notice inscriptions by Spanish writers on the walls."
Star Service "This hotel is housed in a imposing art nouveau-style building dating from1917." Full review

Those who sleep softly would do well to request rooms higher up, as the noise from the street, restaurant and bar can be heard on the lower floors straight through to daylight.
The Telegraph8.0
"Like books? You’ll feel right at home at the stylish four-star Iberostar De Las Letras, where there’s a bit of a literary theme going on behind the neoclassical façade." Full review
