Thompson Madrid, part of Hyatt, Spain

Morning slides across terrazzo floors and leather banquettes as the city hum builds outside on Calle de la Montera.

Thompson Madrid is a design-forward city hotel with 174 rooms and suites, equal parts gallery mood and neighborhood soul—close enough to Gran Vía’s theaters to feel the buzz, and to Chueca’s cafés to taste it.

Rooftop swims, vinyl on the turntable, tapas that snap with olive oil and sea salt: Madrid, distilled.

What Makes It Special

• Killer address a stroll from Gran Vía, Puerta del Sol, Chueca & Malasaña
• Rooftop pool & bar for skyline dips and sunset vermut
• Chef-led dining—modern Madrileño plates, raw bar touches, late-night cocktails
• Design DNA—warm woods, mid-century lines, curated art, and atmospheric lighting
• Urban wellness—compact, capable gym and in-room spa treatments on request

A Day at Thompson Madrid

Morning

Cortado and a still-warm ensaïmada in the lobby lounge; you wander past Art Deco marquees on Gran Vía while shops lift their shutters.

Afternoon

Prado or Thyssen for Goya and Sorolla, then back for a eucalyptus-scented shower and a float in the rooftop pool, the city spread in blue and stone.

Evening

Aperitivo hour in the bar: vermouth with an orange twist, anchovy-gilda skewers, the DJ easing in a soul groove. Dinner travels from charred octopus to creamy arroz.

Night

A slow walk through neon-lit streets, then percale sheets and a turntable spin to close the day.

Insider Tips for Thompson Madrid, part of Hyatt

• The hotel is centrally located near Gran Vía and Puerta del Sol, perfect for exploring on foot or by Metro.
• Courtyard-view and terrace rooms are consistently praised for being quiet, bright, and peaceful—a sanctuary amid busy Madrid.
• If you enjoy open windows, tell reception so they can place you on a pedestrian-facing or courtyard side.
• Rooftop pool and bar feature stunning city views—but check before booking; they’ve had seasonal closures and renovations without prior notice.
• The espresso martinis are popular. Plenty of cafés and tapas bars nearby, though the immediate area is touristy—walk 10 minutes toward Malasaña or Chueca for local spots.
