The Madrid EDITION sits near Puerta del Sol, within walking distance of the Golden Triangle of Art, and styles itself as a modern urban resort. Designed by Ian Schrager, it has 200 rooms and suites, including two penthouses, many with floor-to-ceiling windows looking towards the Royal Palace, the cathedral and Gran Via. Dining is a draw, with Oroya for Peruvian cooking by chef Diego Munoz, the rooftop terrace The Roof, the all-day Italian Scarpetta, the award-winning Punch Room cocktail bar and the Lobby Bar with its marble pool table, plus the Mistica nightclub. The rooftop holds an outdoor pool, which the hotel states is the city’s largest, with cabanas and a pool bar, alongside a five-sense spa with Natura Bisse treatments and a 24-hour gym. It suits couples and design-minded travellers who want energy, rooftop life and strong food and drink in the centre of Madrid.
