ME Madrid Reina Victoria, Madrid

Location

Fanning out from its Plaza de Santa Ana location, the streets surrounding this designer city centre hotel invite casual strolls to such attractions as the Royal Palace, Retiro Park and the Prado Museum; some of the capital’s premier shopping and entertainment districts are also close by. With so much on the doorstep, it’s the perfect base for city slickers, art lovers, historians and gastronomes alike.

Accommodation

Names such as Style, Energy, Mode and Aura allude to a contemporary aesthetic. And, once you step inside, the sleek, minimalist décor, modern lighting and bold colour schemes certainly won’t disappoint. Mod-cons are provided in the form of flat-screen TVs, mini bars and air conditioning, but it’s the extra touches such as the sweeping city views from the sixth floor Style Suites and the Personality Suites’ private terraces that look out to the Plaza de Santa Ana, that really grab the attention.

Dining

The excellent Ana la Santa restaurant pairs innovative culinary flair with familiar recipes to create a menu bursting with bold Spanish flavours. And, with the opportunity to dine either al fresco or in its Tomás Tarruella and Perico Cortés-designed interior, it’s unsurprisingly popular among both guests and locals. And, once dinner’s over, head to the hotel’s iconic rooftop bar to sample delicious cocktails served to panoramic sweeps across the city skyline. 

Facilities

Make the most of special discounted rates at the next-door Metropolitan Spa where guests can enjoy everything from priority treatments and massages to intructor-led classes and state-of-the-art fitness equipment. There’s also a SkinInc Supplement Bar on the hotel’s ground floor and a beauty space in the basement.
