During my time in Madrid, I was on a mission—to uncover the most luxurious accommodations the city had to offer. One that stood out with unmistakable flair: BLESS Hotel Madrid. Situated in the elegant Salamanca district on Madrid’s famed Golden Mile, this property effortlessly blends aristocratic charm with contemporary sophistication. As I walked through its ornate interiors, I felt immediately transported into a space where old-world opulence meets artistic modernity.
Each corner of the hotel feels curated, from the bookshelves flanking the check-in area to the warm lighting and architectural details in the Pinzelada Lounge. Spiraling staircases with sculptural railings, glossy marble floors, and plush textures whisper luxury without ever shouting. The aesthetic is thoughtful and theatrical—grand yet grounded.
My stay was in the Deluxe Family Room, and to say it was spacious and smartly designed would be an understatement. The layout was intuitive, offering ample room to unwind while maintaining a sense of coziness. A personal highlight? The double sink vanity—a subtle but deeply appreciated feature for those who value both beauty and practicality. The room also included a king-size bed, a sofa bed perfect for families, and a bathroom complete with a rain shower and separate tub—truly a sanctuary after long days of exploring Madrid.
BLESS Hotel Madrid’s BLESSed Breakfast is reason enough to rise early. It's a buffet that feels far from ordinary—artisanal pastries for the indulgent, nutrient-packed superfoods for the wellness-conscious, and vegan and sugar-free options that don’t sacrifice flavor. It’s an elegant balance of Madrid tradition and modern tastes, all served in a chic and serene setting.
On the rooftop, the Picos Pardos Sky Lounge by Martini steals the scene with sweeping views over Madrid, a glittering pool, and an atmosphere that oozes understated glamour. This all-season terrace invites guests to soak in the cityscape with designer cocktails and shareable plates. It's the kind of place where lunch stretches into sunset drinks—where time becomes an afterthought.
Gastronomy is a cornerstone of the BLESS experience. The Pinzelada Lounge, redesigned by architect Alejandra Pombo, is ideal for all-day dining, where the fare is as inspired as the design. For something wilder, SLVJ (Salvaje) at BLESS delivers edgy Japanese cuisine alongside theatrical live shows, hidden speakeasy-style spaces, and even a clandestine bowling alley. There’s a sense of playful luxury here that’s uniquely Madrid, and uniquely BLESS.
True to its name, BLESS cares deeply about wellbeing. At the Beldon Wellness Spa, guests are treated to eucalyptus-scented hammams, ice fountains, and sensory showers. The FitNic Power Gym offers cutting-edge equipment and round-the-clock access, while the standout Wellbeing Terrace Villa features a HOGO bed system—a scientifically designed sleep technology that reduces the effects of aging and boosts immune function. Its biohacking meets boutique hospitality.
Between the attentive staff, the curated design, and the high-caliber amenities, BLESS Hotel Madrid delivers on every luxury promise. But more than that, it offers a soulful kind of comfort—a place where elegance doesn’t feel stiff, and every detail feels personal. Whether you’re in town for fashion week, a cultural getaway, or simply in search of Madrid’s golden hour, this hotel is a radiant choice.
For those seeking the blessings of rest, style, and sensory delight, consider your wish granted.
