Rooms with a View of Madrid at the Villa Real
A boutique retreat smack in the middle of the “Museum Triangle” made up of the Prado, the Reina Sofía and the Thyssen Bornemisza, the Villa Real boasts its own collection of both modern art and ancient artifacts (Grecian urns and Roman mosaics galore!) Here you can eat tapas with Andy Warhol at the East 47 restaurant, and take your breakfast as late as 1 p.m.– after a night out sampling Madrid’s legendary nightlife. Looking to cool off? Hit up the swimming pool at the Hotel Urban, the sister property just 50 meters away. (You get complimentary access.) The 115 sound-proofed rooms are elegantly appointed with mahogany furniture and feature wooden floors and marble bathrooms. Book a two-tier suite for the Jacuzzi and terrace with views over Plaza de las Cortes, the Jeronimos church and Retiro Park.
While in Madrid, be sure to catch a flamenco show (via Gridskipper).
