Best Hotels with a Spa Pool in Madrid

This stay is built around the neighbourhood. Days go to the Prado Museum, Mercado San Miguel and Plaza Mayor on foot, and the evening returns to the garden and the terrace with a drink from the bar. Family rooms and room service make it workable with children, and the private parking helps anyone arriving by car. Ask about the spa before booking so the stay matches the plan.

A stay here moves between the rooftop and the street. A morning heads to Gran Via, 3 minutes away, and onward to Plaza Mayor or the Royal Palace, while the afternoon returns to the rooftop pool and the sun terrace. The public bath and the garden give the evening a second shape before dinner in the Italian restaurant. Interconnected rooms keep groups together without sharing a space.

A stay here can be built around any weather. A morning at the Thyssen-Bornemisza or on Plaza Mayor leads to an afternoon on the rooftop pool in summer, or in the indoor pool, sauna and hot tub in winter. Treatments finish the day, and one of the three restaurants handles dinner. Rooms with a courtyard or city view keep the evening calm, which suits a longer stay with a spa routine.

A 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.

A stay here is a slow one. The mornings can go to the Royal Palace, 300 metres away, and the Sabatini Gardens next door, while the afternoons return to the private garden, the rooftop terrace and, in season, the pool. The Thai Room wellness centre and the jacuzzi take over once the sun drops, and dinner in one of the two Spanish restaurants closes the day without another walk.

The evening is the point of this stay. Days go to Gran Via shopping and the sights near Plaza de España, and the roof takes over at sunset, with the pool, cocktails and music at the Ginkgo Sky Bar. The spa and wellness centre handles the cooler hours, and rooms with a rain shower and a bathtub finish the night. Private terraces in selected categories give a quieter way to see the skyline.

A stay here tends to run on the Metro and the roof. A morning heads out from the station a few steps away toward the Royal Palace or the Thyssen-Bornemisza, and the afternoon returns to the sun terrace and the rooftop pool. The open-air bath rounds the evening off before dinner in the family-friendly restaurant. Rooms add balconies and baths in some categories, so it rewards asking for the right room.

This stay is built around a calm evening and a central address. After a day around Plaza Mayor and Mercado San Miguel, the spa and wellness centre fills the hours before dinner, and the terrace and bar offer a last drink afterwards. Rooms are simple, with a desk, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom, so the spa does the heavy lifting. Family rooms and parking make it workable for slightly longer trips too.

The day here runs on the plaza and the pool. Mornings can go to Plaza Mayor, 3 minutes away, and Mercado San Miguel, and the afternoon returns to the saltwater pool and the pool bar on the sun terrace. A balcony with a pool or city view makes the room part of the scene. Breakfast offers American, buffet and gluten-free options, which suits a late start after a late Madrid night.
