Review Hotel Urban Madrid

The Hotel Urban Madrid

The Hotel Urban Madrid is possibly the most modern and stylish hotel in Madrid! It has an impressive reflective glass front; behind this is the famous ‘Glass Bar’ where chairs, tables and all fixtures and fittings are in glass. There’s a very smart doorman, and the reception and lobby area will leave you gaping at the sleek décor, complete with African sculptures. In 2006 it was awarded the ‘Grand Luxe’ categorisation by Madrid’s Autonomous Government General Board of Tourism. It’s the only hotel in Madrid to achieve this in the last 27 years.

Glass elevators glide up to the 6th floor roof terrace and pool. The décor throughout is either in blacks and gold’s or silver and grey, and there are ethnic sculptures from Egypt strategically placed in both public areas and in the rooms, which make up an impressive art collection. I didn’t want to leave this luxury hotel, and the only way to believe it is to experience it yourself.

Hotel Location And Facilities

The Hotel Urban Madrid And The Modern Building Opposite

The road that the Hotel Urban Madrid is on, is full of stately buildings. The hotel is in the area of Madrid known as ‘Madrid of the Austrias’, which is home to some of Madrid’s finest architecture. Plus, you’re only 10 minutes walk from the Puerta del Sol in the centre of Madrid. Here you’ll find lots of shops, bars, restaurants and banks and excellent metro and bus links.

At the other end of the road, approximately 10 minutes walk is the Prado museum and the Thyssen-Bornemisza museum. Opposite the hotel is a cash point, and 100 m to the left as you leave the hotel, you’ll find the Plaza Canalejas. This is a Plaza surrounded by ornate buildings, and there are a couple of terrace bar/restaurants. There’s also a post box and a fresh juice bar.

The metro is 5 minutes walk away.

How To Get From The Airport To The Hotel

Via Taxi: A taxi from the airport will be about 30 minutes to the hotel, and cost 22 to 25 euros (airport supplement included), depending on traffic, and assuming you haven’t got any excess baggage. (Assuming that all baggage fits inside the boot and interior of the taxi).

Via Metro: You can take various metro routes directly from the airport to arrive at Sevilla metro near the Hotel Urban Madrid. Line number 8 leaves from inside the airport between terminals 1 and 2. I’ve given the quickest route below with the stations where you need to change listed:

Metro: Columbia (Pink Line, L8) Then change and head for Principe de Vergara (Purple Line, L9) Then change and head for Sevilla (Red Line, L2).

Via Bus: The red EMT public bus from the airport goes to Avenida America. The number bus that takes this route is the 115. From there it’s quicker to change to the metro.

In A Nutshell

The Hotel Urban Madrid is an extremely well-designed hotel, with many unique features such as its Egyptian art collection, glass bar and the roof terrace and pool. It’s in a great location that gives you access to some of Madrid’s most popular museums, and it caters very well for business travellers.
