Located just off Madrid’s central Gran Vía, the NH Collection Madrid Suecia dates back to the 1950s and was Ernest Hemingway’s home when he visited the city. Today, the hotel has been tastefully renovated, drawing on vintage elements of its Art Deco heritage yet providing high levels of modern comfort in the Scandinavian-style furnishings ('Suecia’ is Spanish for Sweden).
Each of the 123 spacious rooms boasts hardwood floors, contemporary decor and high-quality furnishings. The sleek, modern bathrooms are well equipped and the majority feature both a bath and walk-in rainfall shower.
As well as the elegant breakfast room which has big windows overlooking the street, there is a chic rooftop lounge bar offering panoramic views of the city. A hidden highlight though, is the underground Bar Hemingway. Behind a concealed speakeasy-style entrance, it offers an extensive cocktail menu and plenty of retro charm.
The hotel contrasts the simple decor of the rooms with elegant communal areas where you feel like you’re being transported back to the 1950s. We also love the views from the terrace.
