By now the idea that Barcelona is the fun one and Madrid is the serious one is simply a long-dead stereotype. But there is something to be said for the way that Madrid’s gems often lie hidden beneath a stately and sober exterior. Hotel Unico is a case in point: behind an elegant 19th-century facade in the city’s swanky Salamanca district is a 44-room boutique hotel that serves up contemporary style with a generous side of sophistication.
And while it’s perhaps a bit more grown up than the average boutique hotel, its design references reaching back a half-century or more, the Unico is as up-to-date as anything in Spain. While it’s not exactly a traditional luxury hotel, it’s not short on luxuries — there’s round-the-clock room service, a pillow menu for picky sleepers, and plenty of modern gadgetry.
The restaurant is much more than an afterthought; the chef Ramón Freixa is locally well-regarded, serving an innovative Mediterranean cuisine in a dining room that’s anything but minimalist. And perhaps most surprising is the spa, which goes well beyond what you’d expect from such a small hotel — a welcome indulgence after a day spent in Madrid’s museum quarter, which is a stone’s throw away.
The Ramón Freixa restaurant is closed Sunday & Monday.

What I liked:
Location
What the hotel could do better:
Give you what you ask and pay for when you book in.
We booked 3months in advance and requested a quiet room and payed for a street view.
Checked in at 4pm and jackhammers still going in apartment next door which was being renovated.
Took quite some time to sort out and font desk was not good about it. We did not get the street view that we paid for but just got over the hassle.
