An exquisite hotel within walking distance of many museums, restaurants and shops.
Madrid’s got luxe old grand hotels, and it’s got striking modern boutique hotels. And in Urso Hotel & Spa, it’s got a bit of both.
Guide Michelin, May 2024The contrast between the traditional and the contemporary is even more successful in the hotel's public spaces. Overall, the feeling is that of a patrician private house rather than a hotel.
