Gran Hotel Inglés resurfaces in 2018 as a 5-star boutique hotel

We don't like to talk for the sake of talking and when we say that the Gran Hotel Inglés is a unique accommodation we say it with good reason. This hotel, which dates back to 1886, is currently the oldest in the capital and its walls are home to more than 130 years of history. In fact, in its day, it was the second building in Madrid to have its own lighting.
Its proximity to the Puerta del Sol and the Congress of Deputies was strategic for the hotel's positioning and it is not surprising that at that time many illustrious figures from Spanish cultural and political life frequented the hotel. Nor were there few national and international musicians, bullfighters, writers and painters who stayed in the four walls of the Gran Hotel Inglés. Valle-Inclán, Matisse, Virginia Wolf are just some of the personalities listed. Likewise, the Restaurante Inglés gradually gained a certain prominence until it became a favourite venue for the best cultural, social and political events that took place in Madrid at the beginning of the 20th century.
After a thorough 2-year restoration process, the Gran Hotel Inglés has been transformed in 2018 into a 5-star boutique hotel that combines elegance and sophistication with 21st century comfort and technology, without losing any of the character of yesteryear.
Gran Hotel Inglés, rated 10
"The hotel is excellent. As soon as you enter, you breathe elegance and luxury, and this, together with the friendliness and professionalism of the staff, makes it unique. The hotel has not lost its early 20th century essence, and the design in the decoration is present even in the smallest details. I consider the Hotel a must to visit historic Madrid and I recommend the restoration of its magnificent restaurant Lobo and the intimacy of its ambience. The location of the hotel is also ideal. A 10 in every way. Undoubtedly one of the best hotels in Madrid".

The rooms at Gran Hotel Inglés are a haven of peace and comfort.
"The attention of the staff is exquisite, from the first to the last employee they make you feel special and offer the most personalised service we have ever had. For example, despite having dozens of different cocktails on the menu, the barman offered to make me a personalised one according to my personal tastes, I had never seen anything like it! And what's more, he was absolutely right, it was delicious. Also very remarkable was the friendliness of the reception and concierge staff, always ready to help with a sincere smile".
