Brach Madrid - Evok Collection
Indoor pool and sauna two minutes from Gran Via Metro
About this hotel
The indoor swimming pool, sauna and spa facilities define the stay, in a five-star hotel on Calle Gran Via with a wellness centre and a sun terrace. A fitness room runs yoga and fitness classes, and a restaurant and bar cover the rest of the day. Gran Via Metro Station is a 2-minute walk, and Plaza Mayor and the Royal Palace are less than 1 km away. Breakfast covers continental, American and vegetarian options, and the hotel lists a 24-hour front desk, concierge service and an airport shuttle. Guests rated the location 9.8 for a two-person trip, and rooms include a city view, a bathrobe and slippers. Parking, pets-allowed rooms and family rooms are also listed, so the hotel works for groups as well as couples.

Our take
Brach Madrid suits travellers who want an indoor pool and sauna in the middle of the city, and its best moment is winter, when indoor water matters most. It also works in July and August, when you want to escape the midday heat. It does not suit travellers who want a rooftop pool, because its water is indoors. Book the sauna and pool for the hour before dinner, when the Gran Via is busiest.
- ✓Swim before dinner and avoid the busiest Gran Via hours outside
- ✓Join a yoga or fitness class to make use of the wellness centre
- ✓Ask for the airport shuttle details before a late arrival
Why we love it

Why guests love itA stay here tends to alternate between city and water. Mornings head out from the Metro station two minutes away toward Plaza Mayor or the Royal Palace, and the afternoon returns to the indoor pool, the sauna and perhaps a yoga class. Dinner can be in the hotel restaurant or on Gran Via itself. Rooms with a city view and a bathrobe make the evening feel like a proper rest.
