Urso Hotel & Spa

Snuggled between the trendy areas of Malasaña and Chueca. The Barceló market, brimming with bars and delicatessens, is directly opposite the hotel.

Huge windows flood the stylish rooms and suites with light, and they are peppered with authentic furnishings, as well as being easy on the eye with their neutral tones and minimalist design. Some suites have sunny terraces perfect for relaxing on.

Rather than sticking to one permanent restaurant, the hotel runs an initiative called The Table By, which sees different restaurants from all over Spain take up residence every month. Bringing a handful of their own team with them, the guest restaurant even adapts the decor and crockery to match the taste of their flagship eatery. Breakfast is served buffet style in the Vertical Garden, and you can also enjoy made to order plates.

Indulge in a spa session at the hotel’s Natura Bissé, which has a hydro-massage pool, steam room and a gym. 

The hotel can arrange bicycle hire and give you top tips on the best routes. Soak up the charms of Chueca, Malasaña and Chamberi, or a mere 20-minute walk will bring you to the top tourist sites.
