UMusic Hotel Madrid

This place is an all-singing, all-dancing five-star establishment that’s well worth a visit. It’s within walking distance of Madrid’s most iconic landmarks, top-class restaurants and vibrant nightlife, with public transport around every corner – Sol being the nearest underground station – and Plaza Mayor just five minutes away on foot. 

But it doesn’t just get five stars for its rooms – there’s a historic theatre (ask for a tour) and a rooftop overlooking the city, with a chic bar and pool area. Add in the fitness centre, free Wi-Fi and modern, well designed air-conditioned rooms with all the mod-cons, and you might never leave.

The second-floor restaurant, El Albeniz, hits all the right notes for dinner. If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to book a special dinner show called Teatrera, which celebrates the gastronomy, art, and history of Madrid. What’s more, the hotel’s own theatre hosts Broadway-quality shows, like Phantom of the Opera, so you’ll get to sample the music of the night without even stepping out.
